Andi Dorfman, 37, has shared her experience with formula feeding her newborn daughter, Harper, born on December 20, 2024. Dorfman, who married Blaine Hart in May 2023, initially planned to use a breast pump to provide breast milk but faced challenges. Harper’s unexpected stay in the NICU, where she was fed formula, and Dorfman’s own health issues, including surgery for two hematomas, altered her feeding plans. Despite attempts to pump, Dorfman’s milk supply never came in, leading to Harper being fully formula fed. Dorfman noted that Harper is thriving as she approaches one month old. This story highlights the personal choices and challenges new mothers face, with 90% of new moms choosing formula feeding according to recent statistics.
