(1/4) “I have a four-year-old and a five month old. With my oldest, we tried really hard to breastfeed, but she was a big baby at a 10 pounds 4 ounces’ birth weight. From the beginning I was not making enough to fill her up. We were miserable and she was crying all the time. When we started supplementing after about two weeks it was really the beginning of the end. She started sleeping through the night at two and a half weeks old and we never looked back. From that point on, I breastfed her about three times a day and then gave her formula the rest of the time. Any night waking, she always had formula. Eventually we switched exclusively to formula at about 4 months. I felt like “why am I doing this?” It was just making everything harder to have to switch back and forth.”   #breastmilk#bottlefeeding #formulafeeding #breastfeeding #fedisbest  #motherhood #honestmotherhood #momlife #postpartum #ashlantaylor#ashlantaylorphotography
