I'm nearly 3 weeks into breastfeeding my newborn and I'm starting to have a really hard time with it... mainly emotionally. I feel like she's not getting enough to satisfy herself so she's constantly wanting to feed and I'm emotionally worn down and exhausted from it... my husband sees that I'm really having a difficult time and I hate to say it but I'm really starting to dislike it. I know it's the best thing for her... I don't know what to do. my husband keeps telling me to quit but my mom keeps pressuring me to stick with it. I'm not struggling with postpartum but I feel like that's what it's leading to...

I actually just spoke with a lactation consultant since I'm stuck in the hospital & she said it was completely normal for babies to want to breast feed all the time. It doesn't mean you're not producing enough milk. Completely okay! But if you're feeling that way, then do what's best for yourself & the baby. Fed is best, no matter how! Good luck ☺️

Does she use a pacifier? she could be getting enough just using your boob as confort. cluster feeding can be it too but it can go on for months, doesn't necessarily have to be during a growth spurt.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed. Keep letting baby nurse as often as needed. That will help with milk supply. Just relax when you nurse your baby. It gets easier momma! You can do it!

They cluster feed when they're about to have a growth spurt. I think that's the term used anyways. It's been almost five years since I breastfed.

Babies eat a lot so I'm sure the little one is getting enough and girl don't be hard on yourself I didn't even last that long it hurt to much I had to stop and formula feed

I feel upset my mil is keeping the big box of wipes and diapers I received for my baby shower. I honestly feel like she's trying to have my baby all the time. she's keeping clothes at her house and all. she kept a big thing of Johnson Johnson bath stuff saying I don't need it all. I'm getting annoyed and I'm sick of feeling like just carrying my child for someone else to take over. 😔😔😔 I want want my baby to know his grandparents as grandparents and not trying to be the parent.

Please keep rude comments to yourself.. But me and my husband are taking our dog back to the shelter tomorrow because she's having A LOT of trouble transitioning into family life.. Barking and jumping, jumping on me, jumping and growling at neighbourhood kids.. I'm just afraid that she's not going to do well with the boys once they're born and I feel really guilty but I feel like trying to find a more calm family like dog would be best... 😞 I just feel terrible.. I'm not one to give up on a dog. Am I wrong for doing this???

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.
