Breastfeeding -> Formula feeding
Hi everyone,
I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding for the last 8.5 months. My baby seems to be self weaning herself off of the boob. I started pumping a month ago during the night so I could give her one bottle a day, well I think she really enjoys the bottle now. She seems to get frustrated when nursing. Anyways blah blah blah to my story but my real question is how do you know how much formula to give them a day? Right now I’m still nursing her throughout the day, but her feeds are short so I’m offering a bottle of pumped milk after. However I am not an oversupplier so I am only able to put about 6oz during the night (that’s about 3 pumping sessions).
I think my supply is already starting to dip so I will probably be full time on formula soon. So yes my question was how much should I be giving my 8.5 month old throughout the day? Is every baby different?
also, any advice to not feel so damn guilty for stopping breastfeeding? I’m honestly just tired…it’s been hard lately on my mental health. But I feel so selfish :(
