A happy well fed baby is the goal and you do what you can. Hugs to Jen because I know this was a tough one but you are doing great momma!

I tried for seven weeks to feed my child from the breast. Come to find out that I just didn't produce enough milk. I cried all the time, pumped day and night just to get four ounces of milk and did every trick in the book to help produce more. My husband and I were disapointed but after many weeks decided to to formula only. It was the best thing I could have done. Now I don't have to weep when I feed her, or stress about a non existant milk supply. I enjoy the feedings. It's months later now (she is nine months old) and I still think it was the best thing I could do. All we can do is our best...and sometimes it doesn't work out the way we plan all the time. Your child will grow up just fine without the boob milk. Mine is doing well to! I feel as if I must comment on this. I tried for seven weeks to feed my child from the breast.

My son is now 4 months old and we're over the whole breastfeeding speedbump and now use fomrula. However, it was such a horrible experience for us. The fact that I barely had any milk (the most I ever got at one time was 1 oz- both breasts) was bad enough, but then the judgement that came from others, including La Leche League, just diminished my confidence at motherhood. I love your headline comment, as my husband was just as bitter about LLL, too! I know this post is over a year old, but I wish that I had found it sooner.
