My milk supply has been a bit low lately and instead of putting him through minor starvation, yesterday, I went to the store and bought a can of formula. That little can cost me a whopping $15. Wowza!
But, he drank it just fine. All 2 ounces that he still wanted after I had breastfed him. He was then full and went right down for a nap! It was wonderful!
I'll be honest. It's a huge relief to be able to do formula. Last night, I wanted to go the gym and didn't have anything pumped so my husband just said "Go ahead. The formula's super easy to mix. We'll be fine."
Why didn't I do this sooner?

Funny, I've just done this as well. After E's surgery, my supply went down and we've been supplementing a little. It certainly is convenient!
That's funny. It's true though; I had problems with milk supply and thought it was a curse that I had to use formula, but after a while I realized what a blessing it was because I could leave the baby and not worry if she would starve!
