Post sponsored by Mirum Shopper. Opinions are 100% my own. Having a baby is one of the happiest times of a woman’s life. Months have been spent preparing and getting ready for the new baby. What no one tells you about being a new mom is that you will be inundated with opinions. They come from everywhere and many are well meaning. But all these opinions can cause confusion and make you doubt your choices. After some difficult experiences, I have learned that, ultimately, I knew what was best for me and for my kids.

Eight years ago I had beautiful twin girls. I was a first time mom and needless to say, I was elated, tired, and wanting to do everything I could to give my girls the best start possible. Every woman is different and her body responds differently to childbirth. I was shocked to discover that my body did not produce nearly enough milk for even one of my daughters. After weeks and weeks of trying and visiting numerous doctors and lactation consultants, I was left in a daze. Nothing had changed or gotten better and feeding times were hours long and a nightmare for me and my girls who were not getting what they needed from me. They were losing weight and not growing. I felt like a failure. I had fallen into a depression over the whole thing and spoke to a friend of mine who had experienced something similar. Hearing about her experiences and what she did, made me realize that I knew what needed to be done all along. I decided to introduce formula feeding.

My twins started eating with gusto and growing like weeds. I was no longer spending many, many hours a day getting just a few drops of milk to give them. I could actually spend time with them and bond with them. They were no longer screaming in frustration as I attempted to feed them. It was like a cloud had been lifted from me. My husband even got to join in the feeding fun.

Now, the decision to introduce formula, is one that was right for my family and our particular situation. But I fully believe that every mom is in charge of making whatever feeding decision she sees fit for her family, without judgement or recrimination. There are many feeding options available to new moms. Whether mom breastfeeds, bottle feeds, or supplements with formula, she is making the best choice she can for her baby. When it comes to feeding your baby, I believe “mother knows best.”

We tried a number of formulas with my girls. Some were not well tolerated by my babies, which resulted in lots of spit up upon clothes and messes to clean up. So finding a formula that is well tolerated by babies and easy to digest is of paramount importance.
