Today marked the first day that Claire tasted infant formula. My milk production literally dropped and I got stressed seeing myself not able to produce milk enough for her day consumption (hours when I am at work). I’m blaming everything to my hectic schedule, problems I can share with to others plus other matters. I still deserve a pat on my back, right? I was able to 100% breastfeed her for 5 months and 2 weeks.
Before, I was able to produce 16oz of milk but it depleted to 10oz. I had no choice but to accept the fact of mixed feeding. My mom would give her infant formula once she had consumed the milk I had produced.
I’m not happy but I have no choice. I don’t want her to get hungry.

Do NOT feel badly! I, myself, went through the same feelings when I realized that I was not going to be able to breastfeed my twin girls. Although, I didn't even get as far as you were able to! You did great! You are doing great! I do want to let you know though, I saw your photo, and wanted to let you know that you can save money while still giving your sweetie the nutrition she needs from formula! Look for your store brands. I'm not sure where you are, but we used Walmart's Store Brand here and it was perfect! We saved so much money off of the National Name Brands! Check it out if you can! You can save up to 50% off! Good luck and keep doing what you're doing! You're a great momma!
