4 days PP and I've been hit with all the hormones. I feel super overwhelmed and keep being told that the first 10 days are the hardest and will get better from there. I sure hope so. Breast feeding is no joke, any mommas out there that have done it for a long period I give you props. I have been feeling so guilty thinking about just jumping to formula but I know in my heart that whatever I end up deciding is for my own sanity and his well being.

I have a low pain tolerance if you are not using a nipple shield I highly recommend it is still painful but more doable. With my first I only lasted 3 weeks exclusive bf but this go round we decided to have formula in the mix for many different reasons I probably bf 80% of the time or more and do formula 20% or less. for us it works better and less stressful. Do what works for you because in the end if you are stressed or defeated that can also make bf harder.
Don't give up! It's hard for a little bit, but I promise it gets better. I had a hard time at first, but it got so much better. I still have some problems sometimes. But I also use formula (cause I have a colic baby) but I only give it to her at night before bed. Breastfeeding AND doing formula isn't bad at all. 💕
Thank you! I have been so down because I just relate his feeding time to pain and it makes me feel bad but I am trying my hardest to push through just because I know it will help boost his immunity.
Thank you so much. I might try and add in formula to relieve some stress. @mommytomckenzie @savanahr777 @bluedolphin77
