I have the argument with myself every time he’s hungry “I’ll just make a bottle. Well if I do that I…

Don’t quit it’ll get better!!! Every time u want to quit remind yourself you will spend the next year washing bottles and making bottles and finding places to warm those bottles!!

You just started mama. Is everything okay?? I wanted to quit badly those first weeks. I promise it gets so much easier

It gets easier trust me! Breastfeeding is so hard the demand is insane ! Don’t quit you have no idea how much the baby bond is with they nurse from the mother , your doing great!!!

@kambam, just really hurts still that’s all. Keep thinking bottles are just easier but I they have their disadvantages too

Yep it's gonna be uncomfortable for a while 😕 use your nipple cream liberally. Definitely gets better after week 2

@kambam, week 1 is almost over! I only lasted 3 days with my daughter so a week is pretty good

I kept fighting myself to breastfeed. I hated it so much. For multiple reasons. The only reason I kept going is seeing how happy and healthy my son was getting. I'm still going, not enjoying. but this time doesn't last forever and I know I will miss it someday. Rooting you on, you got this!

For me the pain of breastfeeding lasted about 3 to 4 weeks but its something you tough through and feel accomplished when the pain is over. I wanted to quit and bottle feed my son but my hubby nagged me enough I didn't quit and kept toughing through and he is almost 4 months and I'm still breast feeding him. The lanolin nipple cream is a miracle.
