I want to stop breastfeeding

Amber

I want to stop breastfeeding but I feel so guilty about it. My baby is currently 3 months old, he has latch problems that we haven't been able to work around, so I'm exclusively pumping.

I feel like I'm getting more and more depressed as the days go by. Most of my time is spent tied to the pump, at least 5 to 7 times a day for 30 mins each session. It's hard to tend to my son while I'm hooked to the pump which drives me crazy. My only "alone time" I get is mainly when he's napping I can get in a pump session without him fussing, he only naps for 30 mins which is my whole pump session. 😭

I've tried talking to hubby about formula and he doesnt seem to want our son to switch from breastmilk. I feel like I have no choice with my own body. I didn't want to give formula at first either...but here we are. I'm exhausted. I feel my time is being taken away from my son cause I pump so much to feed him. I'm not 100% mentally there for my son due to getting depressed which just depresses me even more and to top it off, I feel so GUILTY for wanting to switch to formula especially since we're in a formula shortage at the moment.

I'm not really sure what to do, or how to handle this. Any opinions or stories would be greatly appreciated.
