I just need a few weeks before I have my baby. And I've been having dreams about my baby. I find something similar in all of them though. Dream #1: I'm carrying my baby in my arms and he's crying (hungry crying) and in my dream I am searching for my diaper backpack because I need his bottle. In this dream seems like I was formula feeding him because of the fact that I needed his bottle to prepare his bottle for him to feed.
Dream #2: not quite sure if baby is crying in this one, but what I can remember is saying to my mother in law "what am I going to feed him?" Because in my dream my milk wasn't coming out from my breasts so I needed food for him and it was late from what I can tell so there was no store open to go and buy some formula.
Dream #3: last night was the same, looking for formula. But this one I didn't like because I went to the store with a car seat but no baby inside it. But the concept was the same. My child was hungry and I needed formula ASAP because he was hungry.
My theories of what my dream means
1: i probably won't breastfeed, as in maybe my milk won't come or baby will have trouble latching on
2: maybe I'm just scared that I won't breastfeed and I'll have to formula feed, because I am planning to breastfeed but I've heard of all the stories from some friends and family as to why they couldn't
3: I'm scared maybe that I'm depending on breastfeeding and maybe one night I don't have milk coming out, and I'm worried I won't have formula just in case that happens and I have to bottle feed because baby isn't getting enough milk.
What do you guys think?
In each dream he's hungry and in each dream I don't use breastmilk, I need formula.

Probably just stressed about breastfeeding. It is NOT easy at first, but very few people actually have problems producing. It takes a few days after birth for your milk to come in (took me 5 days), sadly many moms get anxious about this and people in the medical field encourage them to supplement. This can really mess with your supply.

Yeah. And also I'm scared that it will hurt me that I don't wanna breastfeed after all. My plan is to breastfeed but I've never dealt with physical pain very well. And this is my first child so your right, I have a lot of anxiety and stress thinking about if I will be able to or if I might still want to once my child feeds for the first time.

if it is causing pain there is a problem with the latch. you can always use nipple shields
