@zoznoz I exclusively pumped until my baby was 4 months. I wish I stopped sooner. Formula is PERFECT for babies. I wanted to breastfeed but it didn’t work out and pumping stole so much joy from those early days… time with my newborn that I will never get back. If you stop now, I really don’t...

@goldielocks I remember this exact thing happening to me too. Made me so upset with the whole situation we were in 😔

@neonbible Oh I sooo feel you on wondering about the what ifs!! It’s awful. I drove myself crazy if i think of all the ways we could’ve made other decisions that could’ve helped make it work. I’m so sorry you went through this too but I love to hear that your little one is thriving now and that...

@katrina2017 Thank you so much ♥️ and honestly good for you for not doing half of what I did. I maybe should have quit a while ago. At some point I think it came to be less about doing it for her and more for doing it for me and when I realized that, that’s when I knew I had to stop trying to...

@carrilynn 🤍🤍

@carrilynn Wow I’m really proud of you for being able to think so clearly about this in the midst of all the hormonal craziness that early postpartum. Your baby is lucky to have such a sage mumma♥️ I really want to get to that point emotionally. I think that’ll br my plan too. I don’t want to...

@carrilynn Ugh I’m sorry you went through triple feed hell as well! I say all the time it should be a war crime. I’m so glad what you guys are doing is working for you. I can do that as well, but since she doesn’t transfer well she sometimes gets fussy at the breast, especially when my supply...

@vickic I’m so glad this time around is going better for you!! That all sounds so sweet, I love that your son is helping to feed her 🥹I can’t even let myself start to think about a second child just because I’ve found birth and now this to be devastating at times. But I hope when the time comes...

@richgardner It makes total sense!

@richgardner Omg I can’t wait to be past it. And totally think mine will be relieved as well! My husband has been so supportive too. Literally any decision I made, he was on board and helping however he could. I feel so lucky. I’m glad you’re was supportive as well.

@katrina2017 Yes the permanence makes it feel so final and awful. Very happy you didn’t have to deal with the sadness! It’s like I know it’s ridiculous to be this sad about it but it doesn’t matter, I still am.

@peopleperson9503 Thank you so much 🤍 your experience sounds so similar to mine. That jewelry idea sounds so nice, I’m going to look into it. Thank you 🤍

@dante116 Totally!! And we need to all stop talking about breastfeeding like it’s THE best. I liked it for the bonding aspect and that’s why I’m sad about it, but I’ve come to learn that all the benefits are really blown out of proportion and exaggerated. I hate that people guilt you into doing...

@kody They really don’t! Which is crazy because sooo many people deal with this.

@kody Ugh I’m sorry you’re still crying every day. I definitely cry like every other hour right now lol. Hopefully we both feel better before 6 months!! If you need to talk to anyone about it in the meantime I’m here. I’ve found talking to other people who get it is really helpful. It’s kind of...

@dante116 It’s awful!! Thank you for saying that bc it is exactly how I feel, like I have never been so sad in my life which honestly makes me feel very shallow bc this is NOT the worst thing that’s happened to me lol. Do you have any tips for getting through? How long did it take you to feel...

I apologize if this isn’t a good place to post this but I’m worried if I post in the breastfeeding sub ppl will try to offer advice for making it work and that’s not what I need. My daughter is three months and to say I gave breastfeeding my all is an understatement. She was a week late and...
