Careful with Fenugreek. For some women it doesn't actually help and can make baby super gassy. I thought if I have more demand I get more milk. Well I breastfed and pumped every two hours. My baby was a preemie so he needed a special formula mixed in the milk to gain weight faster. I breastfed for two months plus pumping and then exclusively pumped because he was just too weak to breastfeed. I power pumped, took supplements to increase milk supply...at some point even a prescription to help.... Nothing worked... At 5 months pumping all day only gave enough for only one feeding. At that point I couldn't do it anymore. It was so draining and I was beating myself up for not being able to increase my supply. I wanted to breastfeed so bad. I cried so much over it. I will never judge a mom for giving formula. ❤️ I hope knowing more now that I will be able to breastfeed my next baby that is due in August. I hope this baby doesn't come so early and it will hopefully be less stressful for me and my body than last time. You are doing what you can and what doesn't drive you to go insane! When Mama feels good she can take better care of baby. I understand the pressure of society and it just doesn't help. You are doing great!❤️❤️❤️
Aw thank you so much for your kind words, it truly means a lot to me. I hope the experience with your next baby is easier on you 💛 Sending you a big hug!
I would like to say that you are doing great as mum. I totally understand how you are feeling. With my first baby I had a guilt and feeling that I am bad mum. Unfortunately the pressure from lactation team and midwife made me feel even worst. Constant phone calls from them checking and asking if I am doing everything I should took away my happiness and enjoyable time with my baby. I said to myself that won’t happen again so with my other 2 children I was straight forward and I have tried to breastfeed and I used every single pomp but unfortunately I had to use a formula and I never let anyone to make me feel so guilty again. It is nothing bad to breastfeed or not to breastfeed. I really hope you will read my comment and that will make you feel a bit better and confident in what you are doing now. All mums want whats the best for their children.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Kinga 💛 I truly appreciate you taking the time to write to me. So true, as long as they’re fed and happy, it doesn’t really matter if they’re breastfed exclusively or not
Little by little i'm watching your last videos.. i had my second baby 2 days ago and it's so different when you already know what you have to do!! With my first baby i have issues with breastfeeding too, she lost too much weight, we add formula and breast pump but now i'm also lucky with my second he's hungry, i don't have problems/pain with my boobs.. definitely better!! 😅 We do what we can!! 💪

Absolutely, it’s so much different to having your first baby. Hope you’re doing well 🤗
Got the flu right after endometriosis surgery, probably from the hospital. Evil cough with the belly pain 🤧🤒😖Really bad luck.
Oh no, that’s horrible. I hope you’re doing ok now 💛
@@madelinehegedus Thank you, I defeated it all 😊 Staying strong 🌞
I have been craving liver pate so badly this pregnancy. That breakfast looked delicious to me😅
Haha I know that feeling. Congratulations on your pregnancy 🤗
Just curious what your main reason was for deciding to combi feed with formula?
Beautiful... ❤❤❤
