Time to vent.
I'm so emotional right now.
I've been feeling really sick since I had my baby and I never associated the way I was feeling with breastfeeding until today.
I have mastitis. I've had a very hard time breastfeeding so I've tried exclusively pumping and I dread every session because of how much my boobs hurt. Tonight was the last time I pump for my baby and I feel so guilty. I keep reading all of these articles about not feeling guilty because breastfeeding isn't for everyone but I still feel this terrible guilt. I don't know what to do or how to handle these feelings.
I'm sick and depressed and I'm just not ready for all the people who are gonna talk about how great breastfeeding is for your baby.

Going through the same thing. Just got my baby off the bottle and no more pumping. I pump for about two minutes to relieve my breast though. I hate that I ever started pumping so much
have you talked to your doctor about your mastitis? I've heard many times power pumping and keeping baby at your breast (skin to skin) will help. also dangle feeding. just ideas since you said you're not really ready to give up. hang in there momma.
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
Breastfeeding information and tips

It is also aimed to help women who may be experiencing problems with breastfeeding and may need to know how to deal with these problems because most breastfeeding problems can be sorted.
So how do you Ladies feel about birth control. I'm against it cause I want my body to do what it naturally does. I've faced infertility issues so I'm not for it but my mom feels I should be on it after I have Tyson.
I'm 6 weeks pregnant as a first time mom and I woke up feeling sick today! I'm so worried, I never thought about sick pregnant ladies. Will my baby be ok? Help!!!! What can I safely take to feel better?
So I found out why I've been feeling so heavy. My baby is already 6lbs😖and I'm 34weeks only😫
If it makes you feel any better, I felt the same way when I had to start supplementing with my son. I felt like I'd failed him because I couldn't keep up with his growth spurt. I've been reading more on how to boost supply and more effective methods to breastfeeding and I'm slowly getting him back on exclusively just breast. From my understanding you don't have to completely give up on breastfeeding when you gave mastitis. You aren't a failure. You've just hit a road bump. You will get passed this. You are doing fantastically if you ask me.
