Formula fed babies from birth

I’ve formula fed my baby from birth 🥰 don’t let other peoples opinions get to you! The main thing is your baby and getting the food it needs. Doesn’t matter if breastfeeding or formula as long as baby is feeding that’s all that matters!

Also formula fed from birth and did with my first. It was my personal choice and you should not feel bad about it and people should keep opinions to themselves!! Fed is best at the end of the day! ❤️

I was only going to formula feed, tried breastfeeding and did it for 10 days before I mentally burnt out! My baby has been on formula since day 10 and honestly there is no difference with him when he was breastfeeding or on the bottle. The only difference is I am so much happier and it’s so lovely to let my partner feed and bond with him! Best decision I ever made!

Formula fed since birth. It’s a personal choice & preference. Just try and ignore people trying to give you a hard time. Everyone asked if I was breastfeeding and right off the bat I said no, I said since they day I found out I was pregnant I would be bottle feeding and they were all shocked. No matter how your baby is fed, as long as they are being fed that’s all what matters at the end of they day. Your baby, not everyone’s opinion on the matter, it is hard to ignore them though. As soon as my baby born was born he finished a full bottle; even the midwife’s were shocked. He’s super greedy & it wouldn’t of been physically able to keep up with him if I didn’t bottle feed.
My milk never came in in the end so would of been able to if I wanted to

Formula fed both of mine since birth and honestly couldn’t give a flying **** what anyone has to say about not breastfeeding 😂 my baby is fed and happy I don’t get why anyone thinks they have a right to have something to say about how you choose to feed your baby🙄🙄

My baby wouldn’t latch properly to me and I really wanted to breast feed. I combi fed for four weeks as I pumped too. It didn’t work out the way I hoped and it upset me quite a bit but now I’m happy and baby is happy. Nobody has said anything to me and wouldn’t dare as it is nobody business but yours. I think now I have a bit more freedom than I would’ve if I needed it ❤️

I’ve had the same issue. My daughter was latching fine and then she got thrush and I was told the same thing to not breast feed and only express which I am still doing but now I’m lucky to get over an ounce a day out of both breasts.

I have used actamil for my daughter and she seems to get on fine with it. Makes her a little constipated but she goes around lunch time and constant after that.

I felt bad as well and had such bad guilt as she use to scream bloody murder but I was told by my family and midwife and health visitor that this is common and that there are some mums who can’t produce at all and there is nothing wrong with that.

There is nothing wrong with formula feeding. It also gives your partner and family members the opportunity to feed your baby or your partner to do night feeds so you can get some well deserved rest as well. Speak to your midwife/health visitor if you find that your not feeling better than this or look in your red book as there are groups to help xx

Formula fed from birth as well. My little one is only a week old but I've always known he would be formula fed as I personally never had the urge or felt the need to breastfeed. I don't let people's opinions get to me, end of the day my baby is fed and happy. Everyone's baby is difference and it should be a personal choice based off preference and circumstances so you do you and don't let others try to influence you

We are doing combination feeding and have done since birth due to her weight, issues with my milk supply and difficulty latching. It’s been a tough journey to say the least. Try not to let comments get to you, a fed baby is a happy baby. Have you tried nipple shields? Our baby can’t latch and breastfeeding has only been possible for us due to using these.
Feel free to give me a message, I can relate with how difficult and stressful trying to do it all is! X
