How to deal with how much breastfeeding ruins your life

👩🏻

Breastfeeding has dominated my life. I love the bond it creates between baby and I, and I am glad I am doing it. But it influences my life so much. Before at work I would go on breaks with friends and eat lunch with them. Now my breaks are used for pumping and I have to eat and pump at the same time. I can’t really drink with my friends and be gone too long. I can’t even really hang out. I am always having to hurry back to be with my baby because I am now a mom. I had to also change my work schedule and now I barely see my work friends. Now the friends I had are becoming closer to each other and I am always left out. These aren’t all related to breastfeeding, but it’s still hard to handle. Idk how to feel better about it
