ugh having a hard day. i really want to breast feed my son when he is born. but my mom keeps saying crap about it like how hard it will be and how she couldn't do it nither could my aunt. and how much its going to hurt and how i should do formula so every one can feed him i mean i want to pump so my husband can also feed him and my husband is 100% behind me on it. its just really pissing me off about how everyone is downing me for it.
@malaakandsuna @nadia825 @nursebetti @jheyer1109 @alyen2 @jeanna0888 @summer729 thank you all so much
Do what's best for you and what you think is right. They should be telling you to breAstfeed because all of the benefits it has for not only the baby but for you also!! It's not easy but it gets easier! Good luck
You're the mom. You do what's best for you and your baby!! And even if you end up having to give your baby formula at least you tried!! Tell them in the most polite way ever if they have nothing positive to say about your decision to breastfeed please keep their comments to themselves! BREAST IS BEST ☺️. Best wishes with everything!!
My mom said the same thing. She kept telling me don't get my hopes up on breastfeeding because she couldn't. My little one latched perfected from day one and my milk came in the second day after birth. Everyone is different. What matters most is that if you want to breastfeed and are having difficulties talk to the lactation consultant and keep at it.
I struggled bc my son wouldn't latch on and I had to use a nipple shield and pump to bottle feed him as well as I was in college and only took a week off of school. It's tough but that's what being a parent is about. The hurt goes away. (Until they get teeth 😁) do your best! I breastfeed for 7months. My son had a whole mouth of teeth by than. Quitting was the hardest thing ever, but there were times when he was hungry and it felt like more work than what it was worth. When formula is good as well. Just do your best but if it doesn't work out, don't beat yourself up. Feeding your baby should be enjoyable. It wasn't at the end for me and was better bonding time to switch over. I'm hoping this time works better but If it doesn't. All we can say is we tried
Do what works best for YOU guys! Don't worry about them! You're the mama.
You're the mom, you do what you feel is best for your baby. Even if it makes others mad!
don't listen, I hear the same crap but my son my decision it's so much healthier for the baby than the formula. you might even be able to get a free pump through your insurance which is what I'm doing so my fiance can feed him. I'd just ignore everyone it's your baby not theirs.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My husband takes his cousin girlfriend to work. Should I be worried about the FEMALE coming on to my husband?
I really really hate the fact that I got stretch marks on my boobs. And it kinda bothers me when mommas tell me they are something to be proud of because it's my baby tattoos or my proof I was growing a miracle...I'm pretty sure once my son is in this world with me HE will be the proof I grew a miracle inside me. I know they try to make me feel better about it but there really is nothing beautiful about stretch marks! No matter how you put it.
so my husband wants to feed are baby but the thing is that I will be breastfeeding so idk how it would work. he was thinking that when he wants to feed him he would give him formula but I just want my baby to have breast milk. so then he said why don't you pump your milk out and I'll feed it to him and i thought that would be the best thing but then I'm scared that my baby will get use to the bottle. I need help idk what to do because my husband really wants to feed him :/ and we need to come up...
How much have you ladies gained so far ?? I've gained 64lbs 😳 my husband makes me feel shitty when I indulge by reminding me how hard it's gonna be to lose the weight once baby comes. I don't know if it hurts my feelings or pisses me off but my dr doesn't seem to be concerned about all this weight I've gained I started at 106lb so I was small to begin with. Talk about stressful
your welcome, I actually went to one of those free baby basics class's from babies r us last night and boy is breastfeeding so much better and easier on the babies tummy, and they have less gas and easier digestion so they don't spit up as much, the lady talked about importance of getting your family on board and not giving up in the first 3 weeks because it gets easier.
