Big news: I bought a can of Kendamil

After a pretty rough breakdown last night, my husband realized that I’m at a breaking point and is on board with starting formula if I want to. We both would ideally like to continue with breastmilk (I pump, but it’s so, so hard right now), but mentally I’m beyond spent. I work from home and cannot even keep up with work and pumping with inconsistent childcare. I’m not a nice person right now.

I picked up a prescription for an antidepressant, and I am going to come up with a plan to wean myself from pumping. I’m also going to see how my baby does with a bottle of Kendamil today! This is a huge step.

My plan is to follow the can instructions (boil water, cool for 30 mins, make the bottle, cool under water if needed), but moving forward I wanted to boil water and make all the bottles for the day to be stored in the refrigerator. I would then warm them up by running under hot water when it’s feeding time.

Does that sound safe? Sorry, I’m so new to powder formula!
