I am curious about people's reasons to EP if you are willing to share. For example, I'm sad today because my baby girl and I have not had success with the latch on my left side. We were doing OK on the right but now she is trying to use the nipple only and it's all painful. Her and I aren't having a good time and I know people have a range of ups and downs with breastfeeding but surely it shouldn't be so stressful. Therefore I'm thinking I need to EP as long as I can keep up a milk supply and supplement if I have to. I can't help but mourn the loss of breast feeding and I don't know why really. I feel like a failure or something. Anyone have similar issues or encouraging words?
