breastfeeding
So this is my 3rd day of agony. :( my blood pressure has been constantly high to were all i want to do is cry. I feel apot of confusion nd in another world.i was told to change medications have to stop breastfeeding. The thought of stopping makes me cry nd just cry. I have like no friends to just talk with. I know i need to do it for my health. Than i think bout all the reasons i dont want to my period will start again, formula is expensive and hes so used to eating from me will he get used to bottle.he doesnt even take a pacifier. The most important reason its healthier for him:( im sorry im ranting. Just so hard for me my health has been so bad at this point. This will prabley be my last:(.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time and hope you are able to feel better very soon. The guilt does get lighter with time so don't let it cloud your decision to do what's best for you and your little one. Take it from a mama who really wanted to exclusively bf but couldn't. My son is thriving on formula and your baby will to if that is what you decide to do. ❤️
Your baby will not benefit from you suffering or dying from a stroke. I know you’re sensitive for wanting your baby to have breast milk but you need to make a pro/con list. Your baby is already 5 months old (maybe more) and you only have to give formula for the first year. ALDI and Costco or Walmart have generic formula that isn’t too expensive - you could probably also reach out to a food bank if it was a complete hardship. However, a baby needs his mommy more than her milk.
Edited to add: breast milk is only marginally better than formula if that gives you peace of mind— research will help you feel better about making the switch. Moms put a TON of pressure on each other to BF but it’s not necessary.
I’m sorry that your going thru such a hard time. I can relate. My blood pressure is not high but I feel like breastfeeding has affected me a lot. My hormones are crazy and it’s been really though on me. Then I think about quitting breastfeeding and I feel bad because I have good supply and latch and I know there are plenty of women out there who wish they could say the same. For my own health I started introducing formula little by little, it was hard at first but eventually I got her to start liking formula/bottles. Now she does half and half but I want to take her completely off by the time she’s like 6-8 months. Sometimes you just have to do what’s best for you hun! ??♀️
Thank you everyone. You have no idea how much it means your kind words mean(:
