So done with all things BM

So ready to just give up pumping breastfeeding altogether. It’s making me sick. I never would have realized before having my baby how difficult it all is. The sensation of it, having to wake 1-2 times a night just to pump, latching issues, just everything about it is MID AS FUCK. Definitely overhyped. And for everyone who says “just switch to formula… fed is best” I’d rather suffer and give my kid the best (for as long as i can) than give in for myself.

It’s ok to be done. Breastfeeding is not easy. Also your mental health is just as important as the baby’s wellbeing. You shouldn’t be last on the list of priorities.

I am so sorry and feel the same

listen to your BODY. i quit and there was so much guilt at first, but after noticing a huge change in my mental health getting better, my body feeling better, getting sleep, it was all worth it to me. our babies aren't going to remember how long they got to breast feed or thank us for it. you have to take care of yourself first before being able to adequately care for your baby!
