I have thrush and so much pain nursing that I've been supplementing with formula. I am pumping every time db takes formula but don't get much. She's 2 weeks old. Feeling really discouraged. Is it all over for us with BF? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

if you want to bf you can get through this. contact a lactation consultant asap. is it really thrush? are you being treated? GL! I would advise stopping the formula because at 2 weeks that is really going to screw up your supply. [ Reply | More ]

shooting pain is normal, if it only last the first little bit while feeding. I remember it stopping after first few weeks. Is db latching properly? [ Reply | More ]

you should stop. feeding your baby should be enjoyable, not torture [ Reply | More ]

ITA. BF is a great choice if you can do it, but if it is this difficult it is perfectly acceptable to FF. Don't let the zealots make you feel like less of a great mom. If you are not healthy and cannot function comfortably it is not especially good for your baby either. GL. [ Reply | More ]

try the herb fenugreek which has no discernable taste in your milk (I am told !)and for me increased milk production by a ton... then get "steely in your resolve" and push through... [ Reply | More ]

^^ me again... pushed the button too soon... meant to say IF you decide to do this. the DC will be fine either way and a stressed out mom isn't what the DC deserves... A happier you with formula is much better than a miserable you BF [ Reply | More ]
