My son is 8 months. I stopped breastfeeding/pumping when he was almost 4 weeks.

It made me depressed. I wanted to experience the joys and sacrifice of breastfeeding. I wish it wasn’t too late.

He wouldn’t latch, and my milk wasn’t coming out fast enough for him (I produced a lot, it just wasn’t coming out fast enough)

He would be on my boob for hours and I was sleep deprived.

I tried pumping but it was painful. We tried to supplement while I pump. But it still hurt me.

Now that he’s 8 months and I feel guilty that I couldn’t do it 😔

And I wish I could have kept going or that I could start again, but it’s just too late and it just bothers me...
