Does anyone else feel this way or should I give up

My daughter won't latch. She's 7 weeks old. And gets very upset at the slightest feeling of a my nipple in her mouth I'm gaining this strong hate and anger towards pumping. I fucking hate it. I hate being on a 2-3 hour timer I hate carrying around pumps I hate wanting to just stay in the damn house bc it fucks up the pumping schedule. I hate how fucking tired I am. I literally am so angry. On top of it I possibly have D-MER & my doctor said "it's normal, just hormones" Am I just being weak and should just push through it/change my mindset or is this a cry for help from my body. What would you do?

breastfeeding is definitely a journey and not easy but don’t give up.. i would talk to a lactation special to help with your daughter latch it could just be the position she’s in so try some other ones as far as pumping i’m also not of fan but i’m also not a fan of being uncomfortable from not pumping.. don’t let pumping stop you from living your life outside the house i don’t even pump every 2-3hrs it’s more so whenever i’m nursing i pump one boob or when every i feel engorged if baby girl has passed her birth weight you can start feeding on demand most of the time it’s not even every 2-3hrs.. don’t give up you got it mama🤍
