Any EBF moms feel like they’re constantly feeding their baby?

@Nini same here. The thought of pumping and bottles just seems like so much extra work. I love just being able to plop my baby on my boob and be done.
Yeah my baby always on the boob 🤧 but she is getting what she needs the proof is in the weight 💜
It’s not too hard transitioning but please start now. Even if it’s just one pumping session then gradually increase. Allow a bottle to be fed at night to slowly introduce it.
And yes I feel like baby boy is always eating. Sometimes I need a break and will give him a bottle.
I feel the same way!! I was exclusively breastfeeding until the pediatrician said he wasn’t gaining enough weight and started to supplement and we don’t supplement the formula more than 2x a day to give me a break. But now I have the correct flange parts and can start pumping and hopefully increase my supply since I’m struggling to exclusively dreastfeed and I get melancholy letdown thanks to ppa and ppd.. you got this momma!! It’s not an easy road whatever you choose!!
@Kay definitely not, just remembering this is a season and that we’ll miss these days 💕
@Christy we sure will! They still think they are a part of us and it’s hard to be the only person (besides maybe dad) that can give them 100% comfort.. they’re growing a ton right now and need all the food they can get!
yes but I'm okay with being a human cow🥰🥰
@Christy literally feel the same way. I will start I think in like a week or two, my lactation consultant said it doesn’t have to be everyday
@Nini thanks for the heads up, I’m meeting with my LC next week. I just got all my breast pump stuff ready for a pump tomorrow and will try giving her a bottle at night. I’m hoping baby girl doesn’t hate the bottle.
Yep me, I have been told I have to start bottle so he can get used to it but I’ve definitely been stalling
