I hate to say this but I don't enjoy breastfeeding at all. I know it has great benefits and all the nutrients for baby but I just feel like a giant milk machine. It feels like he's latched onto my boob all day and I can't do anything else. I literally dread it every time I feed him and j don't wanna feel this way! I really don't want to sound selfish bc I love my son and want the best for him but I can't help how I feel. When I talk about starting him on formula my mom tells me I'm not putting my son first and I'm self centered. Is it wrong for me to feel this way??? 😔

I feel the same exact way! I do love breastfeeding and bonding with him, but I dread every time I need to drop everything I'm doing just for him to be latched for hours. I can't do anything! And I can't always pump enough for a bottle so I give him formula and he throws it up and I feel bad!

stop stressing...hes your son not your moms so thekrfor do whatever however. ..he will still get nutrients from you kr a bottle. ..if you feel that bad well its pricier but theirs organic formula. ..you will fell better doing what makes you both happy.

Thank god I'm not the only one that feels this way. It makes me sad bc feeding is supposed to be a bonding experience but I just get in a bad mood every time I have to feed him and I know he feels the frustration coming from me ☹️ blahhh @bentleysmomma

I pumped for this reason. Got the breastmilk but I wasn't forced to stop everything to feed her.

I have been trying to pump but I don't produce enough to save any so I still end up sitting at home pumping and then having to give the milk right back to him ☹️@kreeblim

it sounds like it's not right for you. I feel like it's better for you and your baby to feed him in a way you can be happy about and enjoy your time with him rather than dreading every time he needs to eat

I had the same problem. I switched to formula with two pumps a day. Feeding time is much more enjoyable for both baby and myself. A happy mama makes for a happy baby.
