Fed is Best
You’ll notice in my e-Books and on my Instagram, I never really mention doing things differently depending on whether or not you breastfeed/formula feed.
Why?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I’ve fed my babies all different ways — pumped, breastfed and formula — and they all are incredible sleepers. I genuinely believe that no matter how you choose to feed your baby, they can still learn how to sleep.

I can’t tell you how many moms reach out to me and say they are struggling with breastfeeding but feel too guilty giving their baby formula.
Yes, even though this isn’t sleep-related. I get DM’s like this ALL. THE. TIME.
It breaks my heart because I know exactly how they feel. I’ve been there! Multiple times, actually. And sometimes you just need another mom to tell you you’re doing a really great job and it’s 100% okay to give your baby formula.
So, if this is you, I’m here to tell you you’re doing a really great job, it’s 100% okay to give your baby formula if you want to, and your baby is going to love you no matter what. As long as you are feeding them often enough, everything will be fine!
Do What Works Best for You!
If breastfeeding works for you, great! Go for it. But if it doesn’t, it does NOT mean that you are failing or that you’re a bad mom.
Let’s get rid of the stigma around formula, shall we? Everyone is doing their very best and at the end of the day, if your baby is being fed, that’s all that matters! Fed is best, and sleep is achievable no matter what.
