Breastfeeding rant.. AGAIN
Here I am again ladies. I am having the hardest time breastfeeding this second time around. Feeding wise it’s going great. My supply is great and I’ve even stored quite a bit of milk.
My problem is that I get no absolutely no support from my husbands family regarding breastfeeding. I get the most snide comments like “you just never know how much they’re getting,” “he’d sleep through the night if you formula fed,” or “I’m never breastfeeding my kid because they cry too much and you could just give a bottle.”
I’m struggling much more this time around staying motivated to breastfeed. I fed my first for 9 months and was SO proud of myself. Now it’s only been 2 months and I’m ready to give up due to the guilt. I can’t have ANY caffeine or my son gets a terrible belly ache and it makes me feel awful. But I also have guilt if I quit feeding him because I fed my son for so much longer.
I guess what I’m coming to you ladies for is some moral support. I’m so frustrated and upset and need you guys to keep me motivated to do what I know is best for my baby.
Achieve your health goals from period to parenting.
