To continue breastfeeding or not...
So I have three children, 9, 17 months and 2 months. Breastfeeding was really great in the beginning. Lately it has just become more of a “job” than not because of my toddler. I’m stretched so thinly between helping with virtual school, keeping my toddler entertained and feeding the new baby. Then there’s trying to find the time to feed myself, stay hydrated etc among house duties. Yes I do have a husband but he works on the road so when he gets home he’s tired and of course I don’t want to be selfish and make him get up but I am on the struggle bus with there not being enough hours in the day. I work as well but I’m out on leave for now. It’s getting to the point where I am lucky to have 5 mins of “me” time let alone time for marriage. I want to breastfeed but my supply is dwindling and my joy for it has left the building. I’ve been supplementing with formula cause I want to make sure she is full each feeding but really I’m tinkering on fully formula and no more breastfeeding. I just wanna be able to divide my time up for all the children equally and be able to give them each undivided attention which has been hard and also not allow my marriage to take a back seat while still making sure I get “me” time every now and again to do something just for me. Any words of encouragement are appreciated but please no negative Nancy’s we don’t have time for that. TIA!
