My son is 5 weeks old and the last few days i have just been burnt out on breastfeeding. He has a great latch, we haven’t had any issues at all, he’s an angel baby, but I’m just so freaking tired. I have ample supply, but he just wants to nurse allllllll day long. By the time we finish one session, burp, change a diaper, and I have a potty break he is ready to eat again. I know that he’s growing, and I know he needs to eat, I get it, I know that is what I signed up for.

But, I can’t get anything done. Like anything. Our house is an absolute disaster, there is clutter and dog hair everywhere. since our families have gone home I think I have actually cooked dinner maybe 6 times. I feel like a winner as a mom for being able to <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.nurture">nurture</a> my baby and feed him from my body and not having to supplement with formula yet. But I am failing hard as a wife and housekeeper. I’m so exhausted, that the free time I do have I should be spending with my husband who works 11 hours a day-but instead I let him have the baby for bonding time and I sleep so I can at least have a good 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep before we start the nighttime routine.

I don’t feel depressed at all, I just wonder if continuing to breastfeed is what is best for us. It is so much work, and takes so much time. I feel like he would stay fuller longer if he had formula, and maybe I could accomplish at least a little bit around the house every day. Please tell me I’m not alone in feeling burnt out with breastfeeding a month in and wondering if it is what is best for us. 🙈🙈
