Re: breast feed vs Formula milk
I gave breast milk to my daughter for 2 months and I used to pump it. My daughter being very low birth weight was not in a position & was allowed by the dr to suck on her own . After 2 months the milk dried because of two reasons 1. my daughter was not sucking 2. I was under extreme stress. I felt bad about the fact I was not able to breast feed my daughters but my mom made me feel worse. For her it was injustice to her nawasi , she used to get angry on me sometimes for taking so much of stress not trying hard enough. She believed that eating zeera etc will increase the milk supply but it did not help.
When my daughter was in NICU she was given both breast milk and premature formula so from the very beginning she was on both.
I have always give enfa to my daughter because that’s the brand hospital used and highly recommended.
When my daughter was in hospital ward there was a woman who was so adamant on giving breast milk to her son that she never let the nurse give him formula milk. She did not have enough milk supply but she would still try to breast feed him the poor baby often used to cry with hunger. Nurse used to get angry on her for not giving her formula. I believe it should not be this way , what is the use to keeping your baby hungry ? formula or breast milk either of it a baby should get !
