Thinking of adding some formula after EBF, help me put my feelings into words?
I've been EBF for 5 months, baby has CMPA and is really sensitive to even small amounts of milk soya or beef (potentially some other foods). She is very refluxy, we are on omeprazole aswell and have seen a lactation consultant. It is really hard to pump enough milk at a good time when she isn't having a flare up so it's not contaminated, and so I haven't left her with Dad in the house for any time over 30 mimutes yet.
I'm conscious that hydrolysed formula will be allergen free, and that I need to start having some of my own space back for even an hour or two a week.
The odd bottle of formula absolutely makes sense, but I feel so sad and resistant about it and I can't put my finger on why and put it into words.
Anyone that can speak on this feeling and give my sleep deprived baby brain some context I'd be really grateful. Also any experiences about giving formula. Thanks x
