How is your breast feeding journey going?

Question

Answer

Breastfeeding is harder than being pregnant..

Answer

I’m constantly bouncing back and forth between wanting to stop breastfeeding and being ok with continuing.  I struggle to describe what I’m feeling so my husband gets frustrated with me. Part of me wants something to happen that I can’t control to give me an excuse to stop breastfeeding.  I know it’s beneficial for both me and baby but I can’t wait to be done.

Answer

I’m somewhere between good but exhausting and struggling 😬

Answer

It's going well for me now. My baby is 7 weeks now it was really hard at first even though this is my 3rd my milk was delayed coming in and it was a lot of work getting it to where it needed to be and its been tiring being the only one who can feed her and get up at night but shes only up twice a night now and so its going pretty well for us

Answer

Great, decided from the get go to supplement two bottles a day so my husband could help out this time (my third breastfed baby). Love this choice for our family.

Answer

It’s going well, but I also supplement about a bottle or two a day to just have some time for myself and my husband enjoys feeding him, so he gets to bond with the baby. My supply hasn’t suffered because of this!

Answer

My nipples are on fire I been bottle feed ebm and formula he hasn't really been on the boob cuz that shit hurts atm lol

Answer

Had a huge struggle with my first baby which I think really prepared me for this time around. Yeah, it can be exhausting but that’s to be expected. This is my full time job for now and I’m happy knowing baby is satisfied. My milk took 5 days to come in with both babies so I had to supplement but I’m grateful that formula exists and my baby was never left hungry🥰 
Breastfeeding can be very difficult but it is also rewarding. Hang in there mammas!

Answer

Struggling with latching. So I’m pumping and bottle feeding. But we aren’t giving up on trying to latch. Offering the breast at every feeding and he is getting better.

Answer

Going great for me. It’s my third and I breastfed my other two as well. I also started pumping this week to start a freezer stash so my husband can help feed her if need be.
