Breastfeeding aversion
Has anyone else experienced breastfeeding aversion? My baby is 5 months old. We breastfeed on demand and bed share. All of the sudden, especially at night while we’re winding down for bed, I feel overwhelmed while breastfeeding. I feel like my breasts are empty (even when they’re not) and like I can’t be the only source of nutrition for my baby. I have this urge to unlatch him and run away, but when I do he often wakes up and is more demanding and then I feel so trapped. I don’t normally feel this way during the day or in the middle of the night, just at bed time.
I’m considering giving him a bottle of formula at bed time to help with this, but the formula we ordered won’t come in the mail for a few more days.
Has anyone else dealt with something like this? Any other suggestions on what to do? I hate these feelings and feel so guilty afterwards.
