If I Am Deficient In Nutrients, Is My Breastmilk Sufficiently Nutritous For Baby ?

I am anemic and have vitamins deficiency even before pregnancy. Now that i am breastfeeding, i worry that my milk is not sufficiently nutritious enough for baby. Should i supplement with formula instead?

What u have in your body will go to feed baby first. Your nutritional needs will go up while u are breastfeeding and you need some additional iron and vitamin intake to maintain your own health. As to whether you should feed formula, that is a decision that is rather iffy. If baby getting enough quantity of milk from you, and you are physically and emotionally capable of continuing to bf, you might want to continue bf-ing and eat more supplements/vitamins to boost your health. However, if u feel you prefer to to cut back on bf, then I'd say no shame in feeding formula. Fed is best, doesn't matter if its breast milk or formula. ✌

Nipple Confusion ?

Recently gave birth and started breastfeeding. Day 4 i bought nipple guards because baby was chewing too hard on my already blistering raw nipples. Now day 7 i tried to stop using it, but she doesn't seem to accept my nipples without the guard anymore. Anyone know what can i do?
