So I hope this doesn't sound selfish... I CANNOT lose weight while breast feeding. I have to use a shield so it doesn't feel as much like a bonding experience, and my son spits up more when I breast feed. I'm basically on an oatmeal and fruit diet which sucks. My son is almost 5 weeks old. Did any of you moms stop breastfeeding and formula feed when you LO was around that age? For some reason I feel so guilty switching but I'm just having the hardest time and think my happiness is important to be a good mother.

girl you are not any less of a good mother if you choose to stop you did it for 5 weeks which is wonderful i tried with my second he wouldnt latch my 3rd i did it for a month but was to self conscious and it was hard with other kids and my twins i only did it in the hospital cause it hurt and i was exhausted this baby i think im only gonna do it in the hospital so do whatever you feel is best because your baby doesnt mind as long as he eats and gets to have a happy mommy he will be happy
I use a shield also , I pump and I also give formula but more breatsmilk.
sometimes I do feel like giving up to
yes yes yes to all of that. I stopped breastfeeding lucy a little after that. I didn't lose much weight, and I also had to use a shield. but one of the main reasons I quit was because my milk wasn't coming out as fast as she would like it and freak out and refuse to eat unless I was engorged and would cry herself to sleep in the meantime. I tried pumping, didn't work out. lucy loves her bottle, she's happy, and healthy, and I'm not frustrated anymore and it all works out.(-:
Hey girlies! I plan on breast feeding my LO as much as I can. I also plan to formula feed when needed. Have any of you moms tried organic formulas? How was it? Experience?
I didn't breast feed my daughter four years ago due to going to school, and I've decided to breast feed my son who is due next month. I'm so excited to start this journey, but TMI how can I NOT get that sexual feeling from my nipples being touched/sucked on? Anyone get scared about that when you thought to breast feed? I'm going to regardless, but I don't want to get that aroused feeling from it.
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared...
I'm so paranoid I'm not going to have a milk supply to breast feed with. Everyone else has either had an increase in breast size, have gotten fuller, or at least leaked a lil. I haven't had any of that. I know having no increase in size doesn't indicate that you won't be able to breast feed but it would at least tell me something is happening there 😕 I would hate to not be able to feed my child
AM I THE ONLY ONE
Who feels like when I'm on the highway traveling and me and a car follow eachother for awhile, I feel like we are friends and when they exit I get sad?!? Because if I'm not the only one who feels like this then I have the BEST story of my life for you.
I did the exact same thing and felt the same way. I felt that since im a woman I should be able to produce enough milk and be able to feed my daughter but it just wasn't happening and it was frustrating for both of us. it doesn't make us any less of mothers not being able to breastfeed!
