Do not let ANYone tell you you must stop breast feeding!! Research all you can! Unfortunately, you’re not the first mama to go through this Don’t ‘just ‘ listen to me or anyone else for that matter! Knowledge is power!!! READ! Learn from the MANY who have been through this before you! Hang in there, mama! You CAN do this! Personally, I would not quit breastfeeding & change to formula without FIRST learning *how* to make your milk be like a special formula. Many mamas quit breastfeeding & take forever to *find* the right formula (formula roulette), when it might have just taken two (2) weeks on the (Dr. Sears) Total Elimination Diet (TED) to learn what exactly it is (or isn’t) that you’re eating, that affects your baby. I did the TED & found I could not eat some “odd’ foods: eggplant, tuna & some not so odd: tomato & citrus. For my baby, it was not a milk or soy (mspi) issue. I am so glad I did the TED, figured it out & also found MEDS at the proper dosing & the proper form. You can do this!
