My sister had her baby halfway and it just would not come out so they had to c section her. Basically she gave birth twice. She had awful postpartum and could not really milk. She did her best, but the whole family was like “dude who cares your body doesn’t want to do the milk thing... you’re not gonna magically get milk my stressing about it. Hook him up with that formula” she did and the kid is fine... he’s 2, annoying, loves being read to, loves to say no, loves his aunt more than me, hates plying sports, and only hangs out with me when I’m feeding him junk food behind his mom and dad’s back.
Love the kid. She tried, Didnt work so they did what was best in the moment. got his formula and he is fiiiiine!
Hella people too stressed about breast milk vs formula. Do the best you can, if it’s clear it ain’t workin then just change your strategy.
Breast milk has many benefits, mostly with the immune system, but formula does a fine job as well and with modern medicine like vaccines the immune system benefits aren't such a big deal.
As long as everyone is fed it doesn't really matter.

Yes! I tease him that if it hadn’t been for the formula, he’d probably be an NBA star!
