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...
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
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
Should I let my x know when labor starts
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...
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.
Zero sex life
Me and my SO have absolutely no sex life anymore and it's really starting to get to me. I try and give him hints and still nothing. I feel like he's not attracted to me anymore and it's really starting to upset me /: is anyone else having this problem?
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 ☺️
