feeling so bad..
I'm breastfeeding and I have been for a month now (my daughter was born 2.14.2016) and it's been really rough on me. some days I am feeling really confident and other days it's too much for me. my daughter loves breastfeeding and that's why I feel so bad... I'm really thinking i should go to formula. that way her dad can help with her more... he has expressed to me that he feels like he didnt have a good bond with her unlike with our son. our son was formula fed and he is so close to his dad. another reason I want to go to formula is because I have a toddler to tend to also. breastfeeding makes it harder for me to bond with him. it is starting to make me feel really down about everything (it's not PP) I know that breastfeeding is considered to be what's best for her (I'm NOT against formula feeding babies, nor am I bashing mother's who choose that for their baby..) and I feel like I chose to breastfeed and so now that's what she's used to and so I'm stuck with breastfeeding because I feel like a bad mom or that I'm giving up on her...
don't get me wrong, I love feeding her and I love the bond I have with her.. and I'm scared that she will feel like we lost this bond that breastfeeding has given us. so I've been feeling emotional about this. I feel so awful about deciding to switch so I just can't bring my self to do it yet. any other mommies feel like this?

If you're tired of the cluster feeding go ahead and switch. Honestly, though the cluster feedings should stop eventually. I know how tough it can be on your body, and if you're done then just switch to formula. It's not as good as real milk but many moms choose to stop breastfeeding because it's too much for them. Do what you think is best.
my daughter cluster feeds and if I pumped to keep up with how frequently she eats I'd be connected to my pump all day.. and I have a low response to a pump.
I pump and bottle feed and I think it's the perfect solution for you! Then you or your husband can feed her and she will still get those nutrients!
always think about pumping first before making the decision to go to formula. not bashing formula fed babies but breast is best.
I was going to ask what she asked. many mother's have successfully expressed and bottle fed breast milk only.
I pump and bottle feed my baby. it helps to have hubby help. especially at night where we can trade off
have you thought about pumping and you could make bottles ahead and have your hubby feed her while your pumping
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...

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
As far as the father not feeling the "bond" there are other ways to create it, like skin to skin.
