I'm just a mess....I feel like while doing a good job nursing it's taking a toll on me emotionally and I've been debating if it's even worth it anymore....we got formula tonight cause I was only able to pump 2 bottles of milk today (cause I didn't want to wake my sister in law last night whose a light sleeper and during the night is usually when I do it so nobody can complain about it) and I needed a couple of hours away from the girls (I love them but I needed a break) and I just feel awful that I had to...I sometimes enjoy nursing but with a male dominant family on my hubby's side (he has 2 younger brothers along with his parents) the brothers were squeamish about me nursing and God forbid that I show my chest a little cause I'm trying to feed my daughter....😭 idk what to do...

Pump or nurse. Do whatever you need to in order to keep your nursing relationship!
If you're just done thats ok too but don't let others decide for you.

I've done both pumping and nursing and I've gotten good size bottles from nursing (the most I've pumped is 4oz)

You shouldn't have to tip toe around loved ones to breastfeed your lo, breastfeeding can take a toll but the bonding experience is absolutely amazing. Don't let other ppl discourage u from breastfeeding. With that being said if u decided to go w/ formula that's perfectly fine too. Fed baby is best. Either way u go, u kno what's best for ur lo. Good luck supermomma, u got this

Hate to be blunt but people need to make it easy for you because it is hard and big whoop if you have to show your chest a Lil his brothers need to realize it's natural and awesome. You shouldn't have to tip toe around anyone you had the baby you are the one doing a hard job
And if you choose to formula feed that's not failing breastfeeding isn't for everyone but if it's what you want then stand up for yourself stay strong your a great mom 💖💪

@queenwatevrawanabi doesn't help that his brothers (ones my age and married but no kids yet, the other is turning 18) didn't want me to show it at all or got squeamish about me nursing....so despite that I still fed her milk but I'd have to put a blanket on Haley which is silly to me cause it's in the privacy of my in laws home and I shouldn't have to hide....

@armywife72515 exactly it's natural and no big whoop. My hubby's step bother was like that and I was like oh well then you go to another room or put a blanket over your head

@queenwatevrawanabi I was tempted to but they did go to other rooms
