Question for breastfeeding moms that have other children.... How do you manage your time? Dealing with a newborn that use me as a pacifier and still have to make time for my other kids... I feel like I'm always locked in my room for feedings ( I have older kids). I'm feeling bad because I decided to stop breast feeding today after only 2 weeks. My boobs hurt, nipples sore, and I still have my other kids... I'm feeling HORRIBLE for my decision but don't know what else to do....

@jessica.faith1315, thank you and same to you. I'm going to try supplementing for awhile. Hopefully it works out
@aek91, @princessvictoria I have a 16 and 9 yo boys so I really don't want to whip it out in front of them lol! I'm going to try supplementing and see how it works
Idk if your husband helps u or not but I usually feed my daughter and I hand her to him and he burps her and sleeps her. I have a 11 9 and 4 year old there in school all day and I usually have them do homework at the table and I sit with them and talk about there day if she needs to be feed I'll do it there my boys are okay with it. and I'll sit with them and watch TV . breastfeeding is a task it self so during the day I'll feed her and sleep with her while boys are at school once there home and so is my So I'll get the boys to help me clean while I cook . they don't do a perfect job but makes things easier...as for nipple pain I usually put breast milk on them and let them air dry before I put pad and bra back...
The newborn stage is demanding no matter how you choose to feed. I ebf and my kids haven't seen me much since the baby was born. I just force myself to get out of my room whenever I can. I nurse in the living room sometimes. After she eats and is changed, I tend to my twins. It's possible to balance. As for the nipple pain, I recommend coconut oil directly on your nipples whenever you need it.
I'm having the same problem right now... It's starting to get frustrating. I have a two year old son that has been going insane since his sissy was born. 😑 I'm thinking about supplementing so I don't have to completely stop breastfeeding.. hope you find something that works.! 😃
I let my son be around me all the time I don't hide when his brother eats but if his brother was okay & wasn't being fussy (usually when in his swing) I would spend as much time with my oldest doing what ever he wanted to do

How much longer do you mamas have and time sure does feel like it's standing still.
I feel like my lil nursery is gonna be nothing compared to all other ladies I've seen 😩.. I'm trying to do minnie mouse on one side of my room for her but I feel it won't look cute because we don't have money 💵 to do the fancy kind 😖.. Smh... #whyme
I'm convinced I'm going to go into labour at any minute.....I'm having contraction but they're stopping and starting. Yesterday i was having contractions all morning then by the time I got to triage to be monitored they stopped. Now this morning I was sat having breakfast with my son and they started again. But more intense and longer lasting this time. My question is do I phone triage now or do I just wait to see what happens. I feel like I'm wasting their time always ringing etc
Why can't other mom's just be there for other mom's and work together and help each other not bash other mom's because when other mom's bash other mom's it makes us feel like we aren't doing a good job at least that's how I feel when I get bashed.
I ha e Kenzie a pacifier cause I could not be hers lol
