From Huffington Post: I Feel Guilty For Feeding My Baby Formula... But Not For The Reason You Think - Fed Is Best Foundation

From Huffington Post: I Feel Guilty For Feeding My Baby Formula… But Not For The Reason You Think

The guilt started on day four. Weeping, a heart that literally hurt with pain. As I put the bottle of formula to my beautiful new baby’s lips I felt overcome with regret. But not for the reason you think.

I am perfectly happy to feed my new baby formula.

The aching guilt I feel is for not feeding my first baby formula sooner.

Five years after she was born, I still ache for starving my first daughter for her first six days of life, letting her lose 13% of her birth weight because I was trying to exclusively breastfeed her.

Seeing my second baby well-fed and content thanks to formula, my heart breaks anew at the memory of my first daughter’s hoarse little cry as she wailed every night, all night, from hunger.
