Episode 88 How Do You Decide to Switch to Formula Feeding When You've Had a Difficult Breastfeeding or Chesteeding Journey?

Has your breastfeeding, chestfeeding or pumping journey been much more difficult than you ever dreamed it could be? Is feeding time filled with anxiety around milk supply, or do you dread feeding your baby due to pain or some other difficulty? Have you struggled to enjoy your baby as you deeply desire because feeding has been so hard, but you’ve been afraid to change the feeding plan? This episode will help you figure out for yourself if changing the plan is right for you and for your baby, or if staying the course is the right choice. ONLY YOU can decide!This episode features:

• A reminder that you are not alone while making this decision
• A reminder that each person has a unique set of circumstances and goals that means you might choose differently than your friend, your cousin, your neighbor.
• A line of questioning to ask yourself to bring clarity to what is keeping you breastfeeding or pumping
• A line of questioning about what it would feel like to change your baby feeding plan
