It will be so helpful to other mums to be or mums who are experiencing a similar situation. <br />I am so happy you reached the point of clarity when you did as I know first hand how difficult the whole breastfeeding experience is. It is not easy when you run into issues like you did and the fact that you kept trying for 5 months is Amazing!! It's so so true what you say, your baby loves you for you not for your milk. Your love for him is the best thing you can offer him. I had such a hard time with breastfeeding on my first, for different reasons than yours. I also persevered for longer than I should have. Because my issue was different to a supply issue it eventually worked after 4 months - but that was 4 months of pain, anxiety, low confidence, feeling like a failure, etc etc! Still to this day I don't know how I stuck through it, most people were shocked that I did. Like you I just wanted to give it my all. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. You only realise after having your first child how difficult it all is and that more people than not have problems breastfeeding for various reasons. The fact that Nico got your milk in the first few months, or even the first few weeks, is already more than enough for him. I also learned that the time spent with my baby was way more precious than pumping and worrying about what milk he drank. I also lost so much time with Dário in the first few months after he was born. It was a good lesson to learn though and I made a conscious decision not to do the same with my second if I ran into similar issues. Although it's not nice all the time it is true when they say that experience is the best teacher! <br />Nico is such a happy, gorgeous boy who is very lucky to have you as his Mama.<br /><br />XO Ellie Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598194927862558483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081927851100718263.post-36800826405796683072019-01-13T08:13:58.084-05:002019-01-13T08:13:58.084-05:00Dani!!!!!

Completamente identificada con tu historia... mi beba nació en Agosto y aunque ella si se pegaba y quería estar TODO el día pegada en la teta sin yo poder levantarme tan siquiera al baño, revisada por consejera de lactancia y despues de 3 mastitis, comenzó a bajarme MUCHÍSIMO de peso hasta que tuve que complementar con fórmula... mi producción por supuesto después de ahí se fue por el suelo.... usaba el estractor para aumetar mi producción, usaba relactador para que comiera , o dedo jeringa para que no se acostumbrara al tete... en fin... tenía una madre que AMABA ese contacto cuando tomaba su tetica pero una mamá estresada luego para poder sacarse más y aumentar su producción y encerrada por todo lo demás que implicaba... en fin... decidí completamentar con tete a los 3 meses y Sabri al fin tuvo una Mamà que pudiese comer y salir con ella... no es fácil y más cuando estás sola... ya a sus 5 meses ella misma decidió dejar su teta que se la daba al dormir y al despertarse... me dolió? Si, pero su amor no es sólo por la teta es ver a su mamá feliz que la atienda, que juegue con ella, que esté plena y relajada de cualquier manera! Muchas comparten su historia feliz pero nadie las oscuras! Y somos mamás igual a las que pudieron amamantar más tiempo o tuvieron otras historias porque hicimos y hacemos de todo porque nuestros bebés estén bien! Saludos desde Caracas!

Entiendo perfectamente tu frustración y el sentimiento de culpabilidad! Yo también estoy aprendiendo que la maternidad es así. Me parece increíble todo lo que aguantaste y persististe para tratar de establecer la lactancia y ya eso habla mucho de lo excelente mamá que eres!!! Independientemente del modo de alimentar a tu bebé, lo más importante es que estás ahí para él siempre que te necesita ❤️ Por todo lo que compartes en IG Nico se ve un bebé muy feliz y amado! Gracias por compartir tu experiencia!

At the end of the day as you mentioned Nico loves you and he’s happy and healthy! I was not able to breastfeed either I breastfed or at least tried for 3 days and then they told me my daughter was dehydrated and we couldn’t get discharged till she was hydrated so in cane the formula. But I kept trying to do both and it just wasn’t working. Her latch was fine but she was impatient and i wasn’t producing enough. So when we got home I decided to continue formula and today at 7 months she’s average weight and our connection is amazing! So don’t beat yourself up you’re doing great!

I’m a former NICU mom and I couldn’t breastfeed my baby for the first three months as he was so tiny (1lb 15oz/ 13 inches). He then went through 2 GI surgeries, a laser eyes surgery and in the meantime I was constantly pumping every 3 hours even though he was not able to eat as much. I remember how of a bad mom I felt when I stopped pumping when my boy was about to be discharged because I needed to get my apartment ready and buy everything he needed since I didn’t have a chance to have a baby shower or buy anything at all (I gave birth to my miracle baby at 26 weeks of gestation). I also regret not speaking up and asked whether I could breastfeed my baby. Once I started to try, he only latched 2 times and never again. He preferred his bottle better as he was already so used to it and also being fed through a tube since he was born. But like you stated, I’m extremely happy that he is still a happy and healthy baby which is all that really matter and the unique Love between us.
