I was at the nail salon getting my nails done and sometimes when I’m nervous (which is a lot of the time because I have social anxiety) I say the wrong thing. I also haven’t been away from my kids in a very long time so I already felt weird.

The nail tech was asking me about my babies and if they were formula or breastfed and I said “My baby is breastfed, thank goodness!”. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I didn’t mean that formula was bad whatsoever though and she got quiet. So I felt obligated to explain myself but it felt really wordy.. I said “I’ve been having trouble with my supply and I was just glad that I was able to do that because it’s not easy when there’s a significant drop. Then I basically said I almost had to consider formula but that would have been just fine as “Fed is best so that’s what truly matters”

There is a bit of a language barrier between her and I but I truly hope I didn’t offend her. It’s a bit of a touchy subject for me because I have gone through a lot of hurdles with breastfeeding and it just didn’t come naturally to me at all in the beginning. With both children. I often feel really frustrated with it and actually feel like a failure most of the time. But I didn’t think I’d be talking about with her so it was unusual for me.

Anyways, just wanted to share because I felt really awful.
