I love breastfeeding but I'm strongly considering putting Gabe on formula. but I want to breastfeed…

I'm right there with you girl! I feel the exact same way.

I say that all the time & I look at my baby & how much he's grow & how healthy he is & I'm like just one more month & he changes my mind to a year because he just loves it so much neither of us are ready to give it up yet he likes the closeness & I like the bonding it is very time consuming & tiresome tho. its all worth it in the end though

do you supplement at all?

@january10th Its the nights that kill me. I honestly don't think I can continue to do this. I'm so tired all I can do it's cry and when screaming I feel like I'm going to lose it. @mdomke22 I feel like if I start doing that I'll stop breastfeeding.

you can pull through ladies! the first 2 months are the hardest. you can do it!

I know exactly what you mean the first month of breastfeeding was soo exhausting i felt like a zombie & I was so emotional because of the lack of sleep I for real looked like I was dead. but it got better. when you feed him do you sit with him? I just lay kaine down with me if I really wanted to I could switch him over to his own bed after about 10 minutes but I don't cause I get lonely lol you could feed him laying down sometimes I fall asleep while feeding kaine & wake up to him waking up trying to get my nipple in his mouth lol I trust my self though not to roll over on top of him cause obviously I've had a bit of practice lol all Gabe wants it to be close to his mommy. luckily he takes a paci kaine doesn't so I'm screwed lol I am the paci

@january10th Gabe just turned a month. it's easier on my body physically but I am an emotional wreck. I never sleep I can't even sleep during the day. I'm gonna try to stick it out until 6 weeks to see how I feel.

Yea let him get a little older & start staying up longer during the day you'll sleep more. honestly it'll be the same thing with formula I've done both my oldest was formula feed & he was a cry baby he never slept at night always during the day I felt the same way exhausted & emotional :/

I find myself having too sit him down more and more bc I'm afraid of I hold him while he cries I'll hurt him.. he's so fussy and to make it worse he hits kicks and scratches me while he cries. @january10th I know I wouldn't hurt him but the thought Is enough to make me not want to be around him when I'm overwhelmed

when kaine gets like that I wrap him up real tight in his blankie & he'll fuss & fight but eventually he'll fall asleep maybe try swaddling him & letting him cry a little sometimes they just gotta cry. but I know exactly how you feel tho I had a couple of episodes where he just cried & cried for no reason at all I had set him in his swing & walk away & cry for a minute as a matter of fact last night was one of those nights I had a headache & Kaine just wanted to cry I got so overwhelmed i sat on the couch & just cried while he cried

@january10th I'm glad it's not just me. I literally thought I was going crazy.

I felt the same way and I started giving him formula breast feeding is great but it is time consuming and tiring I didn't want to stop I felt like I was giving up on him but I couldn't do it anymore. if you can keep going stick with it for as long as you can before you switch to formula @jellybeansmommie

i did the boob during the day and formula at night i didnt have the energy to do only boob .... i give u ladies props for hanging in there @jellybeansmommie @january10th

@jellybeansmommie lol no I feel like I'm losing my mind most of the time. @babygirl10-11 thank you 😘

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way... but I'm ready to get back to my lifestyle n my baby is attached to me every hour she's awake
