feel guilty for not breastfeeding.
So basically when my baby was born breastfeeding hurt my nipples so much I cried every time she tried to nurse and couldn't handle it. She had to be fed so we gave her formula from day one. I kept trying to breastfeed but by the time it didn't hurt, she had gotten so used to the bottle that she wouldn't take my nipple without a shield and even then got frustrated.
I recently tried to pump and it took an hour to get a few tiny drops so I've given up. I'm a month post partum now and I just feel so guilty. I wanted to breastfeed so bad. Formula never even crossed my mind. I never thought it was bad but I just didn't think I'd do it. I can't believe I gave up on the first day. I was just so emotional exhausted and overwhelmed and I couldn't handle it. My baby is healthy and gaining weight but I just wish I could breastfeed her. Every time I see something about breastfeeding or how breast milk is best I get so depressed and feel awful.
