Being judged.

I’m really feeling like crap from my friends and family. Not my side of the family but all my sister in laws and brother in laws.

I breastfeed and pump.

My husband and i have an AMAZING system. He takes the baby from 145am until 515am so i can get a couple hours of uninterrupted sleep. So i pump every 4 hours on top of breastfeeding. This way my husband can feed our son and we have milk in the fridge so i can go run errands and things. I breastfeed him all day until my husband get home from work. Then i breastfeed and throw in some breast milk bottles so my husband can feed him.

Well he has a lip tie so it makes breastfeeding hard. He is messy because of it. I have chosen to only breastfeed at home. I bring pumped milk in a bottle when we go out. It works for us.

People are always asking me why i just don’t stick my boob in his mouth. When did it MY boob become other people’s business?

I’m so sick of the “why don’t you just breastfeed” “maybe he wants your boob”.

I promise you my son loves his breast milk in a bottle as much as he does the boob.

Plus i work at a child development center and the baby is going to have to use breasmilk in a bottle anyway.

But why am i being mommy shamed for not breastfeeding in public. It’s my choice. I love breastfeeding my son. It’s everything to me.

Sorry for the rant.
