Mama, please don't be hard on yourself, what you're doing is amazing, honestly! A lot of us have been there, and honestly pumping to supplement is still giving your baby your milk, which is what matters most; I have a few mum friends who exclusively pump or combo feed like you and their babies are thriving, so there's nothing wrong with your body or your baby, just different feeding needs lang. The guilt is so real but try to shift your mind that you're feeding your baby, period, whether it's directly or through a bottle doesn't make you any less of a mom. If you're worried about the short breastfeeding sessions, it's worth checking with your pedia or lactation consultant to rule out anything like tongue tie or positioning issues, pero honestly, many babies just don't stay latched long and do well with combo feeding like you. Take care of yourself too kasi stress affects everything, you're doing great, mama.
