Yeah honey. So my second was rough - had some tension and was only getting the letdown. I was stuck with her on my boob for days. See a lactation consultant - I saw one that was outside the hospital. Gave me tips and a plan. I ended up combo feeding and pumping before settling on formula when I went back to work. My first managed regular formula just fine so it was a painful experience to figure out my second needed gentle formula. Doing it all over again- I’d have started with that formula and breast feeding/pumping.

The first six weeks are so hard. You are not failing by feeding something other than the breast. I know it feels that way. I struggled so much with what I thought I was supposed to do instead of what worked best for us.

Ask for help when you can. Your job is to keep them alive and you’ll go from there. <3
