Hello, I am 24 years old. I have a two-month-old baby. He didn't want to breastfeed since the hospital and I started to strain ... at one point I got used to a pump and I like this option somewhere, because I know how much my child eats. However .. my breast milk stops unfortunately and I have to give formula .. !! I want to emphasize that the child has a prerequisite for the disease, because I have one .. and one of the ways to find out if everything is OK is by watching how much my child eats .. That I want to know the amount of food eaten, and dry feeding milk due to lack of breast milk makes me a bad mother?

no, it doesn't make you a bad mother. My breast milk stopped on the 3rd day and my baby grew up with AM. Let me tell you most things are grandma's game. Base of comparison my nephew - my sister breastfeeds him for up to 1 year and 8 months, everything is normal for him kg, height, development, but he was ill in the winter, my child fed with Am as development, height and weight, everything is fine and he is sick again in the winter. It is not fatal to eat with Am, it is fatal that you think now that you are a bad mother and who knows what else they instill in you and strain you even more and this affects your body and like nothing tomorrow you can stay like a blast that you pump and there is no milk ... and the baby is crying. Remember - you will always be a bad mother according to others and according to yourself, but you will be the best mother for your child.
What does the title have to do with it?
Are you a bad mother? I don't think there is a problem with breastfeeding or AM. The problem for me is that you watch too closely how much you ate. Since I know a mother who fed her baby the minimum amount of AM for his age because her sister and grandmother were obese, the family was therefore prone to obesity and in order for the baby not to suffer from obesity, so she limited his AM to the minimum, to , this is a bad mother for me. Think about whether you do not measure the amount of food for fear that the child will become obese or, conversely, catch anorexia, if so, you are a very bad mother.
Enough nonsense, and breastfeeding until 10 doesn't make you a mother. The mother is love, care. It doesn't matter what you feed him.
And I couldn't figure out what a "bad mother" had to do with eating? You seem to get into some movies on your own, huh?
I breastfed for a year, but I added an adapted one to the feeding, because my milk was not enough. I was ruined to feel like an inferior mother. I understand. However, it is not up to us. Even if she sucks, she may still be short.
How can you be a bad mother ??? Apparently you have read more mummy groups and forums, where if you do not breastfeed exclusively until the age of 5, you are straight for shooting :-) Whatever you feed the child, he will always grow up. It has nothing to do with immunity or health, except perhaps in the first months. The important thing is to be calm and to bid well. If this is done, everything is ok, and if someone blames you or complexes, send him somewhere further away :-)
It doesn't make you a bad mother, even if you don't breastfeed. But once you have breast milk and you need to know how much your baby is eating, you could weigh it on a suitable scale. Babies need closeness with the mother, they calm down on the breast. And at the moment you are doing what is convenient for you, but not for the child. Again, breastfeeding is not necessary when for one reason or another you can't. I had no milk and I also fed, but at that time there were no scales. For this, I prayed to my friend to give me her kitchen wall scale. I put the baby in a diaper and we hung it on the scales. Now it has everything and you could handle it.
You are not a bad mother, I did not want to breastfeed and I did not breastfeed, now sums and people will jump in the next comments. I expressed a little until I finished breastfeeding for about 2 months and my baby was great, he stopped waking up at night super early and almost didn't cry because I knew how much milk he needed so that he wouldn't be hungry. My child is not sick more or less than the other children in the garden. It is difficult to deal with public opinion and insinuations of various people, I did not explain myself, I said that I eat a combination and a point. Calm and pleasant motherhood.
With these loud "Breastfeeding" campaigns, it's perfectly normal to feel that way. I breastfed my son for 1 year and my daughter for only 4 months. I stopped her because I needed treatment with injections. I have not observed any weaker immunity or any deficiency in our son.
No, number 5, she just wants to brag that she's become a mother ... safe from such stupid breeding individuals.
