I hate people telling me "you should give him a bottle every once in a while so you can go do things sometimes" like I just got him weaned off the nipple shield. No way in hell I'm going to confuse him now. That was wayyy to stressful to go through again. If I don't have to give him a bottle then I'm not going to. I'm a mom now. I don't get time to myself. At least while he's this young. I'm not ready to leave him with anyone for more than an hour or two anyway. It's my choice if he bas a bottle or not. Obviously ik nobody else can whip their boob out and feed him without him drinking a bottle. And if I choose to breastfeed him over leaving him with someone if I don't have to then that's my choice.
Right? Not only that but I knew the second we decided to have a baby that that means no more me time. Cause it's not about me anymore. Yes eventually I will. And there is times I need his daddy to take him but seriously? Bottles can cause nipple confusion and a few times by myself is not worth the fight off breaking him from a bottle.
Plus if I don't nurse him I still have to pump anyway so what's the point?
