Feeling like a failure of a mother.

You're not a failure. I couldn't get my supply up either and my girl was mostly formula fed. It is OK to feed formula. That's why it's there. For moms who can't breastfeed or pump, for moms whose supplies aren't enough for their babies and even for moms who just choose not to do it. It is OK. It's good even! It gives your baby what they need. And you don't have to stop breast feeding or pumping, either! I'm not saying to give up! But if your LO needs more food then give it to him, ya know? The pressure people put on moms to breast feed anymore is ridiculous, formula is perfectly fine and your baby will be full and happy. Good luck whatever you do, momma!
