@swanson.jacquelyn totally get it!

@masseymomma16 glad to know I'm not the only one who feels depressed from breastfeeding. the media makes breastfeeding seem to "miraculous'

I stopped at 10 weeks, had to supplement the last 4 weeks. My supply was low and nothing worked to improve it. I felt so guilty but once I stopped I realized how stressful and depressing it was for me. I will not do that to myself for the next baby.

@cit0.bunni I just feel guilty because I know I can produce some, so some is better than none. & being a 1 income household, and formula being expensive, I feel like I have to do my end of the deal and breastfeed... if that makes sense?

I stopped when we got home from the hospital. My goal was also 2 years but it just didn’t work for me.

@swanson.jacquelyn it took me a bit to get over the guilt of not being able to give her what I thought I should have been able too but when I saw her suck down a bottle of formula like shes never eaten before I broke down. I felt like I was starving her and didn't know it.

We still bonded and my husband was able to bond more as well.

@cit0.bunni yeah combined I can max do 4oz once every 3 hours... and sometimes she eats 9oz!

I had to stop at 4 months since I wasn't producing enough. I tried everything and even when pumping I was only able to pump 1oz in a half hour

with my 1st a year and a Half she didn't want to sit still and be breastfed. it works for some people not for all I couldn't with my 2nd and I'm currently breastfeeding with my 3rd but I do still supplement with formula because he eats so much. you can still bond with bottle feeding
