Question

To still feel guilty a year later for not being able to breastfeed.....tried for 1 month after baby was born and still wasn't successful.....

Answer

I couldn't breast Feed either but it's not the end of the world. Your child is eating right? If so then you have done your job as a mother. Your job is to make sure that they are happy, healthy and fed. No matter how the child eats they are still eating and that's all that matters. Just because you didn't breastfeed don't mean that your child won't be as healthy. Here is an example for you. My milk supply dried up after 1 week so I switched to formula. My daughter is now 7 years old and very healthy and very smart at the top of her class. My sister breastfeed my niece for 2 years and she gets sick constantly and has diabetes and she is very skinny. Breastfeeding didn't help her.

Answer

It's called mom guilt. It will happen over everything. I took away my son's Xbox and kindle today. I refused to take them to The Halloween bash at work because rooms weren't clean and chores weren't done. Of course I feel bad, but shouldn't. It's just being a parent.

Answer

Normal. I feel guilty or critical of myself as a mother almost everyday. I also couldn't breastfeed after trying many different things so I know how you feel about that specific guilt. Hugs to you hun

Answer

Totally normal. There's a lot of pressure on moms to breastfeed these days. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work out for all of us. You'll feel this guilt over many, many things as your child grows. Consider it an indication of being a good mom, because you want to do your absolute best! ❤

Answer

I'd say normal. Not because you should feel guilty but because I think parents feel guilty about lots of things whether they should or not.
