Really thought I was going to enjoy BF 😪 💔

im also sick of being up every hour its so hard on our bodies im mentally drained and so moody my baby doesnt even sleep until gone midnight every night

I hated breastfeeding for the first 3 or 4 months, but I was so stubborn and stuck it out. After that it got easier and I love the bond we have because of it. I love knowing that I can provide for him. Now, my son just turned 1 and is still nursing with no end in sight. I very much think fed is best. For us, that means nursing. I say this only to say that if it’s something that really matters to you, it might get better. But, if you decide formula is best for your family that’s great too. At the end of the day, how you choose to feed your baby is a personal decision. I feel for you though. I remember how hard it was in the beginning. No matter what you choose, you’re doing great.

I'm so sorry youre struggling. It's really hard but it does suddenly click and becomes an absolute breeze! Hope you can get plenty of support from your OH in other ways, washing, cooking and having baby after you've fed so you can nap.

It definitely is stressful, but also so rewarding! I wanted to quite so many times, but 2.5 years later and we are still going strong! You could pump and have somebody else feed your baby so you can get a break at times. Maybe that will help you relax a little more...

It’s tough but formula babies don’t sleep better my nephew was a horrible sleeper and when I gave my son formula towards the end of our breastfeeding journey he didn’t sleep any betterAlso, fed is best ❤️

Why don’t you supplement with formula when you need a break and try lying down when you’re breastfeeding? It’s very relaxing.

I hate breastfeeding 🤷🏻‍♀️ I didn’t do it with my first because FED is best to me and he didn’t wanna latch. I wish I wouldn’t have this time though. I don’t pump cause that sucks more for me lol.

Exclusively breastfeeding is hard. I didn’t find it enjoyable either until my daughter was older and didn’t nurse as often, basically 3 times a day. Then I enjoyed the moments alone with her. But she never took a bottle and I was never able to leave her for longer than an hour. Not that I had many pleaded to go lol but a few hours off would have been nice. It’s not just you!

Breastfeeding is hard but it gets easier is your baby on a schedule, is baby using you to fall asleep? If you want help pump a couple bottles and take a break. Breastfeeding is the best gift you can give your baby. It’s priceless
