When everyone is suffering, breast definitely isn’t best.
I never really considered formula feeding my babies. It just never occurred to me. I bought into the idea that breastfeeding was best even before I was pregnant. When I had my first son, my milk came in as expected, and my baby latched like a dream from minute one. He happily breastfed exclusively until six months, then continued until 15 months. He weaned himself by slowly dropping one feeding at a time. One night, he just didn’t ask, I didn’t offer, and that was that.
He eventually started eating enough to slowly gain weight, but every feeding was tough. He was apathetic about nursing, and he would only take a bottle if we took him outside and walked while we fed him. For months, I nursed, pumped extra milk to supplement, weighed him daily, and obsessed over diaper output. I was determined to keep him exclusively on my breastmilk, so I maintained a pumping schedule that meant I never slept more than 90 minutes at a time.
