Vent/rant thanks for reading sorry for rantingš
Iām STRUGGLING with how to feed this baby and I mean like I think about it all day every day. I go back and fourth between formula or breastfeeding because I feel like a bad mom if I donāt breastfeed but my struggle is that I donāt really want to breastfeed. I know the whole āyou should try itā and what not but I have absolutely zero interest in wanting to do it. I feel like I have no support from anyone in my life with breastfeeding (my entire family is full of formula babies. Mom, sister, aunts, cousins, etc.) and every time I bring it up my husband gets annoyed with me because I keep changing my mind and my mom doesnāt even acknowledge breastfeeding just straight to talking about which bottles and formula I should use or when Iām going to buy my baby breeza (formula mixer for those that donāt know what it is). I also feel like Iām gonna get shit from all the nurses and midwives at the hospital if I choose not to breast feed. Why is this such a difficult topic!? Iām sorry for my rant/vent Iām just having serious internal struggles and I feel like no one understands where Iām coming from or they give me the worst freaking advice ever (horror stories about starving babies and bleeding nipples) part of me also feels like my husband wants me to breastfeed so itās one less thing he will have to do if that makes sense. Heās a great guy and is gonna be a great dad but I feel like he wants the easy out and is gonna expect me to do 100% of everything when this baby gets here (that makes him sound horrible but I promise heās not. Itās probably just my own insecurities and fears about being a mom coming to light) anyways thanks for listening. Iām sure Iāll figure out what the hell Iām doing one day but for now Iāll keep searching for the answer that is never going to come on itās ownšš
