Cant breastfeed feeling not so good
posting anonymously because i feel so down and embarrassed i feel like my 10 day old baby hates being at my breast ive just resorted to pumping and supplementing with formula and im just so embarrassed that it had to come to this but she just doesnt like it everytime i try to breastfeed she latches on for 2 minutes and then starts fussing before screaming her head off and when i try to relatch she just turns away and cries even harder ive tried every position ive tried making aure she had a new diaper on and that she was warm and comfortable ive tried different times of the day ive tried giving her a break and retrying but shes just never been satisfied even when i was at the hospital i just feel so bad not being able to exclusively breastfeed especially when all i hear is breast is best and having breastfeeding shoved down my throat by all the medical community ive dealt with thus far and having seen comments like " just keep trying its worth it" "oh it gets better its okay just keep at it " like no im tired of this and i just want my baby to be fed and satisfied and i cant do it i cant keep trying its heartbreaking
