Mom guilt
So I've breastfed my girl exclusively after her first week or two, she had problems with her sugar since she was premature and I had gestational diabetes, well I've loved the bond it has given us. Lately shes rolling around while shes still latched, trying grab a bite to go I guess. She'll try to bite through my shirt when shes hungry, and those little teeth hurt. It's just been so frustrating, and on top of that she almost always seems ravenously hungry, so i think our breastfeeding journey is at its end. I've been wondering if my supply cant keep up with how much shes been needing lately. I'm going to bring it up to her doctor at her appointment on the 5th. Plus shes always been petite, and while shes getting longer shes not actually gaining any weight, at home I'll weigh us together, then weigh myself and subtract the difference for her weight, even with a wet diaper the other day it didnt add much. Her doctor knows I've been concerened, it could just be because shes always on the move and she has my metabolism from when I was little. She loves purees but I still only feed her the one at dinner.
Last night I told my husband, and he almost got angry because he feels like I'm sounding hot and cold about it. I tried to tell him he doesnt understand how much I would love to keep going even if it was just until a year, but I know its whatever is best for our daughter, but the guilt comes in when I feel that frustration that she doesnt just sit and eat anymore rather than biting and pulling my nipples in ways they shouldn't go. Theres always some new challenge but I've been feeling rough lately.
Thanks for letting me rant a little, I know you all understand better than these guys do. 😂
