30 // Postpartum Anxiety & Breastfeeding - a Mother's Decision to Formula Feed With Chelsea Baker
The breastfeeding journey will most likely be the beginning of discovering who you are as a mother, what's important to you, what's priority for your baby, and what path you will take out of the best interest for ALL of you. The BEST choice might be, to end your breastfeeding journey and begin to formula feed.
Chelsea Baker wanted to breastfeed her baby, but a lack of lactation support, a bad latch, loss of milk supply, and postpartum anxiety began to affect her mental health. She was not able to enjoy this anticipated bonding with baby and it quickly became a source of stress and discomfort. In an effort to enjoy these beautiful, yet still so hard early days of motherhood Chelsea and her husband made the decision to formula feed their son Calloway.
Chelsea wants mamas to know that the best choice for you and baby shouldn't include a sacrifice of your mental health and that a formula fed baby will still thrive.
"No one asks you on your college resume if you were breastfed or formula fed" - Chelsea Baker
