Breastfeeding is exhausting me so much, but I’d feel like I’m doing something wrong and terrible if…

Breastfeeding takes real dedication. It's hard the first few weeks. You definitely wouldn't be terrible if you switched to formula. Just know it does get better we are going on 7 months of breastfeeding.

@mckallalynn.., can you message me any tips or advice to make things a little more successful or what helped you out? The hospital didn’t even try to inform or educate me on breastfeeding and I don’t have any others to help me out. I really don’t want to give up on this 😕

I remember it took awhile for us to adjust. It is a lot of work to breastfeed. You wouldn’t be terrible if you switched. Just try to stick it out as long as you can. There are many benefits to you and the baby.

Also, be sure you’re eating enough calories. I wasn’t at first and that contributed to my exhaustion.

@brittany_blessing I added you to a breastfeeding group chat 🤗

Don’t give up. I felt the same way at first but it definitely gets easier. Just stay strong && have patience. I pray u have support because it takes that as well 👌🏽
