Please tell me your situation. Why you are doing both. I am doing both as well and feel slightly guilty about it. I don't know why, it's stupid that I feel that way.
I guess I started out doing both from the get go because he need formula in the hospital for low blood sugar levels. Since he had already had formula I went ahead and had them keep him in the nursery during the nights so I could sleep and nursed during the day. Connor never got nipple confusion which was great. Once home, I nursed, but then he started pulling off the breast and was constantly hungry after feedings and I was just exhausted emotionally, physically, and mentally. I really needed a break from nursing him, especially once he started the cluster feeding in the evenings. It was really hard with another child to always be nursing constantly so I turned to formula.
So I guess I also want to ask how do you balance both BM and Formula? I usually only give the formula in the evenings because I just can't nurse him every 40-60 minutes. I will nurse and then an hour later ff and then an hour later nurse.
Thanks for sharing your stories.
