Breastfeeding

Stephanie

Hey everyone.

I just need to vent to people who won't be so judgy.

So my son is 10 weeks and he is EBF well it's been a rough time for me. He only nurses for 5 mins on one breast at a time so he eats every hour. I had to cut dairy out because he wasn't handling it well. But it seems like everything I eat makes him super gassy and uncomfortable. I feel so selfish for wanting to give up but I'm just exhausted. And now we both have thrush. I know if I stop I'll probably regret it but I'm wondering if we would both be happier if we switched to formula.
