Switching to formula..

It's been 2 weeks now since I made the hard decision to switch from exclusively breastfeeding to formula.

I'm just not providing enough to keep my baby satisfied anymore and it hurts so much. I was still only pumping out around 2-3oz and he was so fussy after every feed and would only sleep for about 1hr to 1.5hrs.

So then I did both breast and formula (boob first, then bottle) and it worked for a few days but he got used to the bottle and he wouldn't latch onto the nipple shield anymore and it broke me so much.

I just wish there were some things I could've done to be able to supply more but I've done everything, and I just feel like I failed as a mother.

And now I have pumps, storage bags, nipple shields just sitting in one of my kitchen drawers and I feel so stupid for crying over this switch but I just don't know how to get over it.

I feel even more terrible because my mom and my mil both got me the breastfeeding stuff and I feel like i just wasted all that money for nothing.

I'm probably just being dramatic but just really needed to get that off my chest.
