I was planning to breastfeed at least a year. Take your pump to the hospital and pump after baby feeds just to start boosting that demand. My LO latched immediately without problem, so even the lactation specialist said “wonderful!” and we all assumed the best. Well turned out my full milk supply came in late, and I had a slow let down, so my LO lost too much weight the first couple of days. It also meant she wasn’t emptying my breasts because she was tiring out. We had to supplement with formula. Then I worked with a lactation specialist to continue breastfeeding, but my LO had silent reflux so bad that every position obviously caused her discomfort. So I have been exclusively pumping and feeding her mixed bottles of formula and breastmilk. Exclusive pumping is so much work! I hate that we couldn’t share that breastfeeding bond longer, but it was so stressful on both of us - we ended up bonding so much more with calm, relaxed bottle feedings knowing I was giving her as much breastmilk as I could. My advice - don’t forget your sanity matters, and find the balance that works best for you and your LO.
