Posted by: | CommentsThe first 2 days my son was born, I breastfed. Then the 3rd day, I got to go home from the hospital and I started using formula because I wasn’t supplying enough milk. I pumped when I could, and gave that to him and still gave him formula. I gave up the breastfeeding but want to try again. He’s about to be 4 weeks.
