Reasons I regret formula-feeding my child

I don’t. 👀
My decision to formula-feed Ryaan was due to physical complications during his delivery and my decision to stop pumping. I made the best choice for Ryaan, myself, and my mental health. (but really, parents don’t need to give a reason to NOT breastfeed as this in itself can create formula stigma)
Three years later (and even within that first year) I had zero regrets about this decision because as an IBCLC and Pediatrician, I know that we are lucky to have formula to feed our babies!
Through this decision, I discovered how important it is to support mothers, fathers, and caregivers to make the best choices for themselves and their babies-free of guilt.
I encourage you all to listen to your own desires as you feed your babies.
➡️ Maybe this will look like breastfeeding past your child’s second year of life.
➡️ Maybe it will look like a combination of breast milk and formula.
➡️ Maybe it will look like solely pumping.
➡️ Maybe it will look like solely formula feeding.
➡️ Maybe it will look like tube feeding.
How we feed 🍼 our infants may be different, but one thing that is common is our love for our babies.
For baby on-the-way, I am still deciding if we will formula feed or exclusively pump. Those are my two decisions as of now and I know we will make the best decision for our family.
How did you feed your baby? Either way, your child was fed, loved, and safe. 💓

I had also very low milk supply .. my inlaws introduced bottle very early even though i didnt want to .. still I maintained my pumping schedule and it has helped with my supply. Thank god after 40 days of stay at my inlaws . i went to my moms house. And she encouraged me to bring my daughter to breast every now and then .. after trying millions of times when my daughter was 4.5 month she was suddenly on exclusively breastfeeding. It was not less than a miracle for me
To all the ladies i say just take that support you want ..talk to someone and share your desire to feed your baby your own milk.
If i can do it after so manu things like nipple confusion rejecting breasts.. me and my baby has finally made it .. she is now 5.5 months old . She is exclusively breastfed now . And i feel empowered and confident as i can nurture my baby with my own milk .
So dont loose hope just keep trying 🙏🏻
that’s great don’t give up
Thanks I just feel my milk supply is not enough at the same time is ok am just worried that my baby is having enough milk that’s all but thanks
Hello mam I wanted to talk with you I have same problem but my baby she is 10 months old and I stopped breastfeeding when she was 4 months old now I wanted to restart so can you please suggest me how to start ?
Was she irritated at the breast ? Did you try to breastfed her daily at every feed ?
My baby is 2.5 months initially bf for 20 days and then I gave bottle because of low supply . Now supply is good but he gets irritated. At breast .
I was gonna say don’t have any regrets you did what you had to do. And baby looks very happy here.
No regrets!
My daughter is 16 months old, she's been formula fed for the last 13 months. She's perfect.
Don’t exaggerate breastfeeding. Bottle fed babies are equally thriving. So cut the crap.
Exactly.
Breastfeeding is a million times better. Doesn’t mean all formulas are trash but most are. Do research in ALL formulas! European brand formulas are the way to go. This baby is obviously reacting to the sugar they put in formula. Please do your own research
Nah breast fed babies are way healthier and stronger generally speaking. Because the nutrients they get from their mothers are natural and they get antibodies from their mothers milk which helps strengthen their immune systems to fight of germs and bacteria. My baby is both breast and bottle fed but if I could it would make it solely breast.
Lazy
No they are not. It’s ok, but don’t misinform inquisitive young parents. The science is clear and the LOGIC is utterly undeniable. Think critically about what formula is and the importance of a mother’s OWN BREASTMILK for her baby
I feel you! I had so many issues with milk supply. One of them wasn’t producing any and it messed up the production of the other one. They put me on medication but I wasn’t able to operate machinery on it, and I had to go back to work full time, so I unfortunately had to go to formula. I had been doing every other feeding with breast milk but it just wasn’t enough as she grew older. I would wear the pumping bras all day and night. Man was I sore and bleeding. And I’d only get like 6 oz a day. I remember the day I went to formula. Baby was crying so much and I was so tired. I finally decided to try one of the cans of formula I was given. She was so hungry. I cried from relief that she was getting fed and I cried even harder thinking about how I must be less of a woman for not being able to provide for my baby. She’s been on only formula for about 4 months and she’s 8 months old now. She’s 23 lbs and she eats about 30 oz of formula a day now, and my mental health has significantly improved since I can now do my job, come home and be a mom, and take care of my house without the added struggle of taking a bunch of medicine and having to eat lactation cookies all day, and have bloody nipples for only a few drops of milk.
Gosh yes so important to look at the whole picture and let go of mom guilt (easier said than done, I know). You have to do what's best for your baby's health AND your health, which includes mental health! So glad you're in a better spot ❤
Which formula dd u get?
Do u mind sharing
@@nanayaa7958 We used Gerber soothe for our son and then combo fed with Enfamil neuropro for our daughter until I established breastmilk supply and then did some combo feeding with Bobbie. Stay tuned for a breakdown of formula on this channel!
@@nanayaa7958 we used gentlease at first, but then she developed a milk intolerance so we switched to Soy. I work for a grocery store, and they have their own brand of Soy formula that I can get an employee discount on.
My baby is on formula. My milk supply is not coming in the way it needs to to take care of his 4 oz. Every 2 to 3 hours demands so he's on formula and I don't like how he looks so drunk after he drinks his bottle
Thanks for this! I breastfed my first baby but have since had a mastectomy due to breast cancer. My 2nd baby is due in July and I may not be able to breast feed again. Been feeling down about that and this video reminded me that everything will work out fine. THANK YOU! ❤❤
💛💛💛💛💛
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have eternal life. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved. If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
So what was the reason?
It's in the description
@Nonload no it's not
People dont get the video. The reason is because she loves her baby. 😂 For the folks that had trouble.
😂😂 he looks pretty happy to me 😂😂❤❤
Thank you for this video.I needed this so much to seeee..❤
Me too!!! Beating myself up over here
Honestly hand expression done properly is amazing for increasing volume and even for emptying the breasts far better than pumping. With all the recalls and health issues linked to formula I'll be sticking to the natural method of feeding my baby. Beyond that...breast milk is Magick stuff! Replaces so many unnecessary products for both baby and momma. I wish we were better educated on these things by the hospitals before going home with newborns. No judgment ro the moms opting for formula...we all do our best&many situations are different. For those able to physically produce it though...nothing compares Honestly.
Some of us have to supplement with formula. Nothing wrong with that as long as your baby is fed
everyone is not as lucky as u r to produce enough milk....every mother want to breastfeed ..but some cant ...
My baby was so skinny had no choice
My baby is 5 months old and i had to quit pumping milk as i was so sleepy and irritable all the time from having to wake up every 3-4 hours to pump since my supply was low all the time. I feel so guilty. I got my period back and always feel thats my punishment for not trying harder. But my baby seems happy with his formula feedings and so i will try to focus on that instead 😥♥️
Yup you were punished with your period, that makes a whole lot of sense.
@@mutahmarriagecounselor2272 at least she feels bad for not giving the baby what it needs. There's some people who without any second thought will just give their baby formula which has no hormones in it. Obviously the companies selling the milk shake don't mention that though.
My mom is giving formula to my sister and she is 4 months but can already fit in 6 month old clothes.
But i dont know if it has to do with formula. She is also already trying to crawl at 4 months
Is it this formula she used
It's unlikely related to the formula, standard formula has the same caloric intake as breast milk and babies come in all shapes and sizes. And they all reach milestones at different times
@@pedsdoctalktv9960 not the "same caloric intake".... It will have the same calorie density as breastmilk but will lack the hormones found in breastmilk and therefore the signals to baby that they have had enough food are less and they will take in more calories. This is why babies when bottle fed usually throw up their food more, because the don't know when to stop.
Isn't it convenient that babies will take in more than they need from the powdered milk which is made in a factory and sold by companies for profit?....I'm sure those companies regret making excess money 🤔
awe sweet baby , he loves his mommy
Thank you!
Which formula did you use?
So cute baby, I’m really happy for you, you have been in a long and hard journey trying to conceive and you have inspired so many who are struggling. seeing this beautiful face gives hope to everyone. Thank you ❤
Aw thank you so much for your kind words ❤️❤️
Babies need to be fed unfortunately some woman won't produce enough milk ,due to many different reasons, even if they recall the formulas babies still need nutrition. I'm not against it if there is no other choice .
Damn that's a lot of reasons
I didn’t see anything about regret
What wrong with the post?
Fed is best!
👏👏👏
Thank you for this video❤
Why does he look like Rishi Sunak?
I bf both mine til around 2... im grateful i was able too , they rarely get sick i think the bf helps
God bless that baby he’s adorable…. Adorable baby aside, I strongly dislike this post: you’ve wasted my time with this misleading post. As a parent that did both breast and formula I took the time to read this annoying post because I thought it had some important information pertaining to formula… instead it’s your annoying rant on why it’s ok for you to choose whatever you want for your child.
Of course you can choose whatever is best according to you! We are in America where you are free to do as you please as long as your not endangering those around you woman!
Either way wish you the best in your journey and please don’t waste ppl time with misleading headlines! That’s what the media does all the time and it’s annoying.
I'm sorry that you feel this way. I do have full videos coming soon regarding formula and formula feeding that I hope will be more helpful to you.
Взгляд как у малыша,а на вид ребенку лет 5-6
Dumb
NOW IMA STEAL HIM
Thank you for this I needed this. I can't breastfeed my baby due to lack of supply and medical conditions while delivery and she's on formula. I always feel guilty for it
Let that guilt go! Babies thrive on formula and your baby loves you for SO much more than what you feed them♥
I’m in the same boat as you! It makes me feel so good to see other mommas dealing with this. My son has latching issues and I’ve been pumping my butt off for barely any milk..I just pumped for 40 minutes and got half an ounce. I have to pump all day long to get him one bottles worth and I’m trying to decide when to stop. It’s so upsetting, but this makes me feel better!
@@jessicapreston9808 This was happening with me and I couldn't even pump for that long due to my condition. So my baby is exclusively formula fed. She's four months old now and she's absolutely fine
@@jessicapreston9808I’m in the same boat, my baby is 2 months now. My baby couldn’t latch due to the size and the type of nipples I have. Been pumping as much as I can and can only make 1-2 oz at the end of the day. I’m using a nipple shield and he’s able to latch now. Letting my baby breast feed 1- 2 times a day, but he isn’t getting much but I hope him sucking will increase the milk supply, I still formula feed. It’s 90/10 right now. I hope when he’s 3 months it’ll be 50/50 then only on breast milk is the plan.
This video doesn't say anything. Please stop waisting peoples time.
Everyone, i am a mother who had exclusively formula fed my baby from month 1. I don't have even a table spoon of breast milk. Even though I'm thankful for having an alternative option like formula, i regret having to have fed my little one with that. With the high infant diabetes rate and amount of added sugar in baby formula, i will never recommend this to anyone unless it's an utter necessity.
I slowly started substituting formula with cow milk when my baby turned 6 months. I know doctors don't recommend this. The same doctors recommended the formula milk with highest added sugar content in my country( the sweet nestle). And that same is what i had given my baby for months before doing a thorough study on this.
If anyone wants to really know why i switched to 'cow' milk and what all were my findings, let me know here.
I want to know? Can u pls share
I want to know please brief
Pediatricians don't recommend cow's milk but recommend formula which is made from cows milk 😂 It's just marketing
Giving your babies formulas from companies that have had several recalled and lawsuits over babies getting sick and developing life long issues. I bet you're so proud.
Some Moms like myself couldn't produce breastmilk. I tried and I failed, beating myself up each time. I am greatful my children had formula, or they wouldn't be here at all. My now 20yr old is in med school. My 18yr old is an artist, and my 10yr old reads at a HS level. You are part of the problem. Stop shaming Mom's for making the only choice there is for them! We didn't have milk banks! Formula is all we had.
@@virginiamullarkey6314 Obviously your conscious was shamed so you had to reply. Formula is all you had is a poor excuse. You should have educated yourself about making a safe-at home formula. You think your great-great-great-great grandparents just went down to the store to get formula if the mother couldn't breast feed? Our foods are no better than theirs, actually our food are way worse more processed even ultra-processed is the new term, full of chemicals. Pretty sad our grandparents before us who lived without technology and fancy cars ate wayyy cleaner food than us. Free of microplastics. Cope harder.
@@virginiamullarkey6314 Bobby Parrish on TH-cam he explains fully ingredient by ingredient why most formulas are bad for babies and which few are safe. This is the kind of research that anyone could of done even before people like Bobby made videos or even before Google became the powerful quick and easy search engine it is today. Laziness and lack of research are no excuse for ignorance.
@@jesusislord4060 they also died of dysentery and something as simple as getting a bad case of the sh*ts but go off. inform yourself of history before being a d!ck to someone, if you were well off you got a wet nurse, a woman who was able to breast feed for you and if wernt well off, you did something that today would NOT fly which is animal milk,water or broth mixed with grains :) that is not a good diet for an infant, a lot of the time "homemade" formula can be dangerous at worst and leave your kid with deficiencies or not meet their nutritional needs at best.
I just gave birth to my 9th baby, he is being supplemented with formula. I have breastfed 7 babies with no issues. The last two I have needed to supplement for their health. It was either supplement or sacrafice their needs. Trust me this grieved my heart both times as I have been adamant about nursing. Currently trying to get my body to get my body to make enough milk for my 1 month old, who is far behind on his weight gain. Going through this I could absolutely see how a mom would feel the need to entirely switch to formula. I have considered it more then once, because I want him to be healthy. And trying to balance between formula/nursing and not knowing how much he is getting is so very hard.
Your reply is incredibly unkind to those who have made a different choice then you. I am a strong advocate of breastfeeding, and do think there can be selfish reasons for a mother to fornula feed, but we do not know the circumstances or levels of support another mother may have. Or the body issues she may struggle with.
Please do not use my Lord and saviors name on your account if you are going to be so viscously unloving. What are the two greatest commandments?
As for people in the past, yes they did have healthier food then us, but wven then women could not always provide milk for their babies. People would get wet nurses, neighbors help, or animal milk, or in very unfortunate cases where they had no access to help their children would end up very sickly or possibly even die.

Hey moms am really confused about baby milk formula my baby is 3weeks almost and am stuck between breast feeding and milk formula I need help here is baby formula good for newborn babies can I breastfeed at the same time give my baby formula milk

Wat are the reason i dont see any
That’s the point you don’t see any
She must’ve been formula fed…
What actually happens here?? Is baby not alright?
Means zero reasons.
Yes just means I don't regret feeding my baby formula, it helped him thrive!
Exactly. None!
I was breast fed and I turned out awful. Doubt that had anything to do witb formula or breast milk though. Think its just me.
What's the reason then that don't even look like no baby that look like a grown man face😂😂😂😂
Go with European formulas like Hipp if you cannot breastfeed! European formulas have a better safety standards and cleaner ingredients. American brands put too much sugar/maltodextrin and other harmful ingredients in baby formula now. Make sure you do your own RESEARCH and be thorough! ❤

Wow what a beautiful baby. I hope you are a praying woman in the name of Jesus Christ. There are some psycho's in this thread. One comment said now im gonna stay your baby and the other said the baby was crazy. That ain't nothing that Jesus can't take care of because the devil is a liar. Stay prayed up and be viligant when it comes to the babies and children. God bless y'all.
Всю жизнь будет жизнерадостный и улыбчивый😊😊
Sweet baby !
Thank you so much
Such a lovely baby ❤
And they are?
None! I don’t regret it. See caption for why 😊

The formula lacks the essential antibodies, and it is clearly stated on the packaging that there is no substitute for breast milk. However, if there are no other viable options, it is acceptable to use formula.
The antibodies thing is waaay overhyped. Do your research.
Baby looks pretty happy to me!
@@mutahmarriagecounselor2272 lol this person works for Nestlé. Hormones are overhyped too probably bahahaha
Uy, cara de maniaco
Hes abnormal
Ha! He is adorable!!❤
Aw thank you!! ❤🥰
Not breastfeeding is selfish
Totally disagree. You don't know another's circumstances. There are many valid reasons people don't breastfeed including but not limited to medical contraindications, baby feeding difficulty, lack of resources and support, parental mental health and more. I'd encourage you not to jump to judgement and criticism but instead be curious and supportive of others you may know very little about. I'm sure you'd appreciate the same grace❤
@@pedsdoctalktv9960 if able to breastfeed and choose to do not, i think it's selfish. It's fair to not if there is a valid reason why they can't (e.g. mum can't produce milk) but i think for the vast majority it's a choice to a large degree. If children in Africa and India are almost exclusively breastfed compared to western countries, trust me, it's a choice. "My nipples hurt too much" and it being "not convenient" are both selfish choices.
Breast milk has antibodies and hormones, Nestlé protein powder doesn't. People just can't make sacrifices anymore, not even for their own little baby. It's sad.
Nestle protein powder is not equivalent to formula. And why should maternal mental health not also be a priority? How can we expect a suffering mother to adequately care for an infant? Babies can grow and thrive on formula, you have to look at the whole picture of everyone's health and it's a personal decision that most moms do not make lightly, especially with so many judgmental opinions out there similar to your own.@@dr6124
@@pedsdoctalktv9960 I'm calling formula 'nestle protein powder ' because it pretty much is. It's a supplement at best, that's why it says "it's recommended that you breastfeed for the first 6 months" on every container of formula.
If the mother is mentally ill, and 'suffering' as you put it, why do you think carrying on through pregnancy, giving birth and not caring for a child afterwards is a preferred choice than say abortion? It sounds a bit unfair on the child but you may be against women being pro-choice?
But going back to what i said, there is no way that the difference in formula fed babies in USA vs developing world countries can be explained other than mostly frivolous choices i.e. "don't have the time" or "it's too sore".
