So my baby is 13 months old I’ve breastfed since birth. Baby was a late eater and just began eating pouches/puffs around 11 months old and is a big eater!

I’m currently 14weeks pregnant and my supply has substantially dropped/nearly is gone. I have no freezer stash because I’ve always just kept up with baby’s intake of milk. We’ve tried introducing whole milk, goat milk… etc. with no luck. Oddly baby drank 2 bottles of whole milk without issue before but now will not take any form of milk.

I didn’t plan on stopping nursing baby yet but due to the circumstances of being pregnant and my nipples being BEYOND sore and irritated I’m finding it unbearable to nurse baby anymore. Last night was really rough because baby wanted to comfort nurse. Through my tears and baby’s I nursed for a little but couldn’t take it anymore. My husband tried rocking baby to sleep with extra food punches and I tried making a bottle of goat milk. And baby just screamed and screameddddd until I couldn’t take anymore and had to go in and let baby painfully comfort nurse to sleep.

I feel beyond guilty to be in the position I’m in… I don’t want my nipples touched yet alone having baby nurse on them they are so sore. I know it’s baby’s way of comfort and that breaks me knowing I can’t find another way to comfort baby.

All of this has made me think strongly if I even want to nurse my second baby when they arrive late February 2025. I feel like I am just over it and the pain of comfort nursing and the frustration that comes with it I can’t handle.

Does anyone have any advice?? Reminder, I have no freezer stash nor will I pump in order to add some of my milk to whole milk or goat milk to introduce baby to it. Baby constantly cries until I allow them to latch, then I sit in tears while I feel like my nipples are torn apart. Baby won’t take a binky either

Any advice is greatly appreciated…. Please help 😞 the hysterical screaming and tugging at my shirt continues at this moment
