Don't like breastfeeding but feel guilty
My girl is 4 weeks old and has been breastfed since day 1. She eats great and I don't have a lot of pain when she latches or eats, but I honestly just don't like breastfeeding. I'm starting to get resentful of someone constantly sucking on my nipple and being trapped in one position for up to an hour if she's going through a growth spurt. I know how good it is for her though and don't want to switch to formula, but I'm just not enjoying our time as much as I want to.
Has anyone else gone through this, and does the feeling go away? At the same time, does anyone exclusively pump and bottle feed and did you notice a difference in your supple?
I want to do what's best for her but I also don't want to resent our time together.
