Breastfeeding, stopped.
So I had my little Papi almost 2 weeks ago and honestly I thought I wanted to breastfeed him as long as I could. But that all changed. When he was in the hospital he didn't really intake much and then was told he might have jaundice due to lack of milk. Days after I was discharged my milk came and I started to pump because he wouldn't latch on. I realized he ate more then what I can produce. I'm in my room pumping for about 45-1 hour and I'm not getting to enjoy my time with my son because I'm pumping which was annoying. I made the decision to stop pumping because it was to much time and my boobs always felt so heavy even after I pump. So my fiancé didn't like that at all he wanted me to continue doing it but I explained my reason of taking to long and honestly it's a lot of work. His mom told me to do what I feel like plus my son was only drinking breast milk in the morning and then formula the rest of the day. So it wasn't something new to him. It was honestly easy to stop and I feel so much better. And I get to enjoy more time with my son. :) good luck to all the ladies who are breastfeeding
