Breastfeeding guilt
When I got pregnant I had full intention on breastfeeding for as long as I could, I had my baby and started breastfeeding, I made it to 4 months before I was losing my mind and just struggling so hard with breast feeding so I was eventually talked into giving it up and I have regretted it ever since. I don’t have much of a village for support so I guess I’m here to just hear other mamas express their feelings on their breastfeeding journey too so I can maybe stop feeling so much guilt/aloneness on this.

You did, and always will do, your best for your child. Your child needs you present and not super stressed - your feelings matter. Well done for struggling through for so long x
I did the exact same thing with mine. I struggled with it for a while and looking back I wish I pushed myself and continued. But he was just as healthy and happy without it so I knew it was just all in my head. Try not to beat yourself up about it but I know it’s hard! 4 months is an achievement! Happy mummy happy baby x
