Breastfeeding??

Question

Okay so.. I’ve been feeling like complete shit lately because I don’t think breastfeeding is something I want to do. I’ll pump and bottle feed if I’m able to, but I still feel bad cause I feel like I should be doing more for my baby. But honestly I HATE my boobs touched. It makes me really uncomfortable and triggers my dysphoria pretty bad. Does anyone else have this issue, as far as not wanting to breastfeed but still feeling guilty?

Answer

Don't feel bad. I have no intentions of breastfeeding. It's not for everyone. Anyone who belittles you for not doing so you just have to remind them it's your baby and your body.

Answer

FED is best. Don't get caught up on how no matter what anyone else says. You'll do great mama.

Answer

I tried it and hated it so I weaned to only bfing at night and formula during the day then cut my baby off at 6 months over to formula completely. I only waited that long because everyone was giving me shit for formula. but then I stopped caring what others thought and my "guilt" went away. I'm probably only going to bf our second for a couple weeks and then pump. I hate breastfeeding and having a baby attached to me 24/7. do what makes you happy no matter the direction. baby won't care as long as they're loved!

Answer

There is nothing wrong with that. It is not for everyone, and that's okay. Babies on formula wont be worse for ware at all. Formula eating babies will grow and learn and laugh and play just as breastfed babies. Hell my friends son is only a few days older than my girl, and is two skills ahead of my girl. He is bottle fed and she is breast fed. She has been sick once and he hasn't. Also has way more teeth. It is not the end of the world to formula feed (or pump and feed. Im just saying if you end up with formula)

Answer

Don't feel bad at all! 😊 As long as you feed, clean and love your baby you are doing enough. Whether you pump or use formula or breastfeed, you are feeding your baby. Babies need to be fed.

Answer

I just want to encourage you to provide breast milk in a bottle as long as you can if you don’t want to breastfeed. Even the tiniest of breast milk has huge health benefits for your little bundle of joy 🙂

Answer

I don't want to breastfeed at all. Not pumping or physically breast feeding. It's just not something I want to do. I'll try it because actually doing it will be different. I also feel guilty about it because everyone keeps saying how that's the best thing & it's what we should do but idk, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Answer

It's not for everyone don't worry!
