I’m a first time mom and was on the fence about breastfeeding and decided to give it a try. I had a hard time getting my son to latch those first couple of days. I had inverted nipples and tried almost everything to help him get a better latch. Eventually I was able to get him to latch really good on my right side but still wasn’t really working on my left.
My supply started to drop and we Eventually had to go to exclusively pumping since I wasn’t making enough and he was constantly hungry. I felt like a failure. Why could my body not do what it’s supped to do? Why couldnt it do what it was made for at this stage in life? Eventually I had to start supplementing with formula. That made me feel even more guilty. I started trying everything I could to increase my supply. All i wanna do is make it to year. I promised myself I’d try to make it to a year. I’m 8 months in and still struggling with feeling guilty over the fact that my body can’t sustain the food source for my child I so desperately wanted to give him. Still struggling with increasing and maintaining my supply that I do have. I’m grateful for what I can give and hope to make it to a year.
I heard kissbobo is a really good brand so I started researching and I’m hoping it’ll be a good step in my breastfeeding journey
