Bottle feeding guilt

C

2w ago1 min read

Wife had to switch to formula at 3 months due to supply issues and I'm not gonna lie, she's been really hard on herself about it. But honestly this kid has never been happier. He's sleeping longer, eating more, and we can both feed him which means I actually get real bonding time instead of just watching. Anyone else deal with the pressure around breast vs bottle? Seems like there's so much judgment but at the end of the day a fed baby is a happy baby.

Man, fed is best. My wife went through the same thing at 3 months and beat herself up way too long. Our kid is thriving and honestly formula feeding gave us both way more sanity, which made us better parents. Tell her she's doing amazing.

Two under two here and we did formula from month 2 with our first. Kiddo is a healthy, happy 3 year old now. The guilt is so real but it passes, especially when you see how well baby is doing on formula.

Supply issues are real and not her fault. Kids need a fed mom way more than they need breast milk. Sounds like you're being a great support though, that's half the battle right there.
