Needing support :/

kadee

My baby is 2 months old and I’ve been trying so hard to keep breast feeding. With my first born I never had enough supply to keep going past 6 weeks, plus I was a single mom and was stressed beyond max. So I’ve been doing everything I can to keep up my supply and also have a stash in the freezer, it’s been working fine. BUT I have no support this time around. Hubby literally only helps out when I’m at work. I work nights. He only has to give her 2 bottles before I’m home. And then I need to shower, because I work in a smoke filled room, before I can hold her. But instead of giving her that last bottle when I get home, he sleeps and I have to stay up till almost 5 for when she’s hungry again. I get home at 3/3:30 and have to get up at 7 to get my older daughter ready for school. Breast feeding is just taking a lot out of me mentally and physically. I’m exhausted. I’m cranky. I miss my old body. I miss my boobs not hurting all the time. I miss real bras. I miss sleep. I miss sex (too tired and possibly just too mad at him). I’ve talked to him. Doesn’t help. Anyone in the dfw, Texas area need a friend? I could use one that’s going through their breast feeding journey too. Someone who can relate. I need a support group before I give up on breast feeding. It’s just one stress factor I can control. Trying so hard to keep the mindset that she is getting something so wonderful from me that I can provide for her but it hurts so bad.
