Is it bad that I.....

I have a one week old and I hate that I don’t like this whole breastfeeding journey. My baby wasn’t having a lot of wet/dirty diapers so we took her to pediatrician. She has lost a little over a pound. Saw a lactation consultant yesterday that came to our house. She showed us how to feed two different ways and wants us to feed every two hours during the day and three hours at night. Followed by 5-10 min of pumping during the day feeds. People say it’s a great bond but I haven’t felt that feeling yet. I feel like I can’t do anything else but feed her. I feel like I can’t give her the amount she needs. Even though she seems full when we are finished. Am I the only person that fees this way. I feel really guilty that I’d rather just go to formula. I think cause I can actually see how much she is getting and it would get me out of the discomfort I’m feeling. This FTM is an emotional wreck. Thank god for my supportive husband.
