Tonight was rough. I ended up in tears because of a combination of being tired, frustrated over feedings and just wanting to shower. My husband and I had the conversation about how to feed the babies several times and that we were both 100% ok with having to use formula if necessary, but i didn't think of just how emotional you really become when the possibility of your body not being able to provide for your babies actually makes you. My mind was thinking one way and my heart was thinking another. I can still nurse, but somehow it just doesn't seem to be enough right now. And the fact that I'm exhausted just piled up on top of it.

@lugland that is true. Itll be different with 2 babies.
@hazelnautumnsmomma125, I told my husband last night that I don't remember feeling this way with our first. He reminded me that that was just one baby. This time there's two.
@lugland yea it just wasn't working for me. I was upset thinking my body let me down but you've gotta remember even if you formula feed you're still taking care of your babies and they will sill be healthy. 💕
@kj713love, I never thought I would get emotional about it because mentally I know that no matter how I feed them it's the fact that they get fed. And I've told myself over and over it's ok. But it still hits you
@therurallady, thank you. I'm trying, but two newborns are proving more challenging than one
It's obvious from your post that you are a good and caring mom. Be kind to yourself. ❤
I was the same way and just could not produce enough. I felt like a failure and stressed about how other moms who breastfeed would judge me but ultimately it comes down to what's best for your baby and you. Some people may judge but your baby still has to eat so thank goodness for the alternatives!
@hazelnautumnsmomma125, it's close to that for me too. It's not too painful anymore with them latched on, but the idea of pumping after is. That's painful for me. And I'm starting to wonder if I'm producing enough to sustain both babies. Then there's the added feature of how do I do all this in public too.
@lugland i was miserable and my nipples were cracked and bleeding plus i wasn't producing enough and she needed more..
@hazelnautumnsmomma125, what made you decide to stop??
I cried when i stopped breast feeding autumn after only 2 weeks.. I got so emotional but after a while im glad i stopped💕 i hope things get easier for you.
@lugland I know. 😞 I hope things get easier very soon
