There are so many options to consider when it comes to feeding your little one! Whether you choose to breastfeed, pump, use donated breastmilk, formula feed, or some combination, we're here to help guide you through it all.

What made you decide on your current feeding method? And does anyone have any funny stories or cute pics to share related to feeding time?
 
I exclusively pumped for the first few months because my baby had a hard time latching, and I wanted to give her all the benefits of breastmilk. But it was exhausting keeping up with the pump schedule and washing all the parts! Eventually, we supplemented with formula and my life got so much easier - no looking back!

That's awesome you made a choice that worked best for you and your baby! Fed is best pumping is a lot of work and not something to be underestimated, congrats on making it work for you guys for as long as you did! It's so great that formula was a good option for y'all too.
 
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support and understanding! It's nice to hear someone acknowledge the work that goes into pumping, and I'm glad I made it work for my baby for as long as I could. Formula is definitely a lifesaver too!!
 
You're so welcome! It's a real labor of love - literally - and a lot of work goes into pumping! And yes, formula truly is a Godsend. No judgement here, it's a fantastic feeding choice - convenient, nourishing, a lifesaver You rock mama!!

Wow, thank you for the encouraging words! I'm glad that there's no judgment either way; it really is a choice that should be up to each mom and baby :) I do feel empowered after making it through that period, knowing I did all I could despite the challenges.
