I feel like i want to give up on breastfeeding 😫😢
You could try bottle feeding at night... Everyone says no bottle or pacifier till 4-6 weeks so that your milk is in and no nipple confusion. I did give my son bottles of breast milk here and there. You could try it. You would still have to pump and make sure to burp really well otherwise you will be up w a colicky baby but maybe it would be easier to not fight the latching? If you do make sure to find a nipple that is as close to yours as possible!!!
It's just the hard nights that get to me, I know it'll get easier, I guess I just need to preservere through the pain and exhaustion just wish it wasn't going to take so long to heal @norcalmomma
I didn't have a c section so I can't imagine your healing momma. I do get the exhaustion and back pain. I kept snacks near the bed, plenty of water and baby nearby so I didn't have to go far. It's really up to you and what you need to do for your baby! Either way it will get easier. I'm 5 weeks PP and have my days. Good luck momma!!!
It's just really difficult getting him to latch and I'm trying to recover from c-section my body is phsyically tired I keep getting back and muscle spasms. He feeds really well during the day but at night it's a nightmare and I'm already exhausted from not sleeping and pumping and feeding and not eating it's just overwhelming
I was there trust me! You got this momma! You can do it! What's making you want to stop? I know it sucks at first
yeah I've definitely been having to bottle feed at night but ir doesn't hinder my supply at least not that I've noticed, it gets a little easier everyday I'm getting used to feeding now so i guess it's just a slow transition to learning new techniques
