"My mixed feeding story began soon after my LO's first few days. As we all know, karamihan sa atin, milk will only start flowing on the 3rd day after birth.

Pero pina-try ko na siya mag-latch after 8 hours ng pagkapanganak niya. Once nag-start na ang milk production, I tried breastfeeding him. The first few days were a struggle. Just like other moms, praning ako na baka he is not getting enough milk. I talked to my friends na EBF, they were encouraging and frustrating at the same time. The pressure was on!

But then I have read that stress will cause problems with the milk production, so I started supporting my lo's feeding with formula. And now he's 3 months old, as long as I can, latch lang ng latch, pump din ng pump kahit tig 4 oz lang ang nakukuha.

Formula kapag si hubby ang nagbabantay. And all is well!

To all mommies na MF or FF sila ng babies, do not let others judge your love for your LO based sa type of feeding na ginagawa niyo.


All love!
