I came here to say the exact same thing!
My baby was just bad at latching – I met this lactation consultants and went through some very intense mom guilt because my baby lost quite a bit of weight in the beginning. I felt the pressure to make sure I was doing all I could to breastfeed/pump even though I hated it and no matter what my supply was low.

It was only when I started opening up about my struggles to women who were asking me how things were going – that I heard so many of them say they combo-fed/used formula because nursing didn’t work for them either.

I wish I had heard these open conversations earlier to realize how many women actually had to take alternative directions with their breastfeeding journey.

We’re also on formula now (at 4 months), and we’re all so much happier, making we wish I fully switched sooner – so glad to hear you have a healthy and happy baby!
