I feel so defeated.. She hasnt even been born for 48 hours and tonight in this hospital we used formula. Im an emotional wreck because I feel like I failed her.. No ones understanding why I'm crying. Its not even that I dont have milk its because the pain :'( and I know i can work through it but my "boyfriend" says get over it.. I just cant! I want her strictly on breast.. I still only want her on breast.. But he puts the bottle in her mouth anyway... And im laying here crying my eyes out and he doesnt care he doesnt get it! Im growing a serious hatred for him ever since she was born. Everything is pissing me off I cant handle this :'(
@madibug96, yeah he doesnt stand by me he tells me to shut up and to get over myself and that im "always right" so i dont need him and then he walks out...
babies do not need to be fed immediately. their bodies are made to be fine for a couple days until your milk comes in so I assume it would be the same if you just need time to get the correct latch and get past the pain. that's really rude of him and I would make him leave. I've made it clear to my husband of everything I want to do and he has already promised to stand by me. you are the mother, you get to decide what to do. kick his ass out.
It's ok mama, don't feel defeated!! You can do it!! I wish someone would have been honest with me and told me that breastfeeding comes with a million possible problems/complications but they iron themselves out if you keep at it! I had pain, infections, mastitis, every hardship imaginable...but I stuck it out and did my research...ended up breastfeeding my first 2 until their 3rd birthdays. It's worth it!
Maybe you can request a lactation person to come talk to both of you. maybe she has good ways to communicate to your SO why it's so important to you. You have a lot going on and it would take stress off of you if someone was the middle man explaining how you feel. @sarahmariemommy2be
Can someone message me please :'( im having a break down and he just walked out again I cant handle this
This was 100% me! I was crying so much because I felt like the worst mother in the world. (my baby wouldn't latch though) It gets better! Don't be so hard on yourself.
They gave Rylan formula in the hospital! Now we're almost 3 months strong exclusive breastfeeding!(:
you can try again hun you're supposed to do it a certain way. that it wont hurt you adk your nurse to show you i had to get mine to show me with my son
Usually if there's a lot of pain, the baby isn't latching correctly. The hospital should have a lactation specialist you can talk to.
That really sucks he's not being supportive of what you want. Especially since you just had your baby and your hormones and emotions are everywhere. Have you tried using a nipple shield? I had to use those with my daughter because she wasn't latching properly and it caused my nipples to chafe. But I refused to bottle feed too. I told the hospital if I couldn't get her to latch I wanted to pump because I didn't want her on formula

i cant believe that Im going to be a single mommy... :/ he doesnt even care about his child.
im soo stressed out in just days after giving birth my babygirl is losing weight im not even producing milk yet and my hubby wont let me give her formula because he wants to listen to doctors , i gave her water because i keep trying to breastfeed her but its not filling her up and he started freaking out , its like i have no say i know breastmilk is the best but she cant stay on my boobs 24/7 , i cry everytime im in the bathroom

im just so mad at this point I baby sit my nephew EVERY DAY since he was born ... he doesn't listen to anyone.. Im having major tummy issues today been running to the bathroom and look what he's doing to my mother's stove and her spoons .. this happened in 5 minutes of me being in the bathroom.. im crying because I feel like he just doesn't care and no matter what I say to him or my family everything is all my fault
ugh im so pissed off. my boyfriend cares TOO DAMN MUCH! He keeps freaking out on me whenever i eat things like hot fries or anything junk food. its irking me to death like i just wanna eat my food and now im crying because i cant eat it cause i dont want to hear his mouth. all he says now is if something js wrong with the baby he and i will not be together.
im scared crying im sorry i cant do this c-section fuck it im trying everything i can to turn her or ima say put mi to sleep
You are always right, has he forgotten that you are a woman? damn, men are really pissing me off tonight lol. if he wants back in the room I'd tell him that he's gonna support what you wanna do without question or he's gonna get smacked. if my husband ever gave our son a bottle and formula without even barely letting me try all hell would break loose. js.
