You would think that over time the sadness of failing at breastfeeding Connor would go away but it doesn't. This is something that I struggle greatly with everyday π I had my heart set on it and it kills me that I couldn't do it. I know I probably gave up too soon but emotionally I couldn't do it. I'm not afraid to admit that I suffer from PPD and feeling this daily guilt doesn't help. I have to remind myself that at the end of the day he's healthy and growing like a weed. I am so thankful for the amazing support system that I have. This is something that I keep to myself but I need to talk about it.
@concrete, I'm definitely going to try again when we decide on having baby #2. My job now isn't very stressful and I'd actually have time to pump so fingers crossed that the next time works out.
