Breastfeed vs FM

My LO is 1m+. Ive had troubles latching my baby. He fussed at the boob everytime and always had a bad shallow latch. I then decided to exclusively pump. However, milk supply is low and i have to supplement with formula. I find myself almost always busy pumping and washing parts that i feel like i dont spend enough time with baby. I feel like a milking cow. :( also having breast and nipple pain (suspect thrush) :( The low Milk supply seems not worth it for me to spend very little time with baby. Any advise/ opinions? Am i incompetent to feed formula entirely? Ive bought so many lactation cookies, drinks, extra pumping parts, etc. itll be all to waste. And i know ill regret not having that bond with him. :( im very torn now. ##advicepls #formulamilk #breastfeeding

Im also torn whether to stop bf as well. She has been mixed fm n bm for some time now. But she has recently started at ifc and i have also gone back to work. No doubt some days i am wfh but i find myself pumping n pumping, washing n washing that i feel so lazy n tired now. My output is low n cannot match my ger demand at all. I agree wif the previous post that drinking water actually does help, at least it did for me. At night i will wake up pump (mayb 2-4, depending) after going to bed at 12 n last pump at 10. Very tiring… my output for usual 3h can only max bring me to 80/90ml but usually doesnt happen 😅😅 and my boobs clog really v easily.. i didnt latch after few wks from birth as my baby is very impatient!! I also feel i haven spent enuf time wif my ger when she was still home.. every time she sleeps i have to speed up and pump awhile..
