Almost 8 months of only breastfeeding nd I felt drained from pumping nd going bk to work I decided to start formula but he hated it and would deny the formula bottles. Last night he actually took 4 ounces of straight formula nd this morning the same. Is it normal to feel sad breastfeeding is coming to an end even though its wat u want?

Very normal! I nursed and then pumped forever, and still felt sad when we were done with all that. It represents a milestone, your baby growing up, which can be very bittersweet. 😢💜
I'm feeling it. I think its normal. I have a lot of milk frozen and my goal was 1 year and I'm exclusively pumping and I went down to 4 pumps and cant go down anymore. 😥 but I dont want to be pumping ova the summer want to be able to go out and do stuff with my girls. Let's see until when my guilt will let me lower my pump session.
Even though I became extremely depressed while breastfeeding and resented it, the day I stopped I felt guilty. I felt like I was failing him. Mom guilt can be intense
Yes it’s normal! You will feel sad no matter how old your baby is. My daughter weaned at 2.5 and even though it was the right time for both of us I felt sad for a while. Feel proud of the time you put in! You could mix formula with breastmilk if that helps with the transition. Continue pumping but drop a session little by little to reduce your supply.
I think I'm going to do breastfeeding and see how he attaches to me & if not I'm going to put him on breastmilk formula.
Breastfeeding.
I am a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. No, I will NOT shame you if you decide to formula feed, and will not tolerate anyone else doing so on my post. Everyone has their own reasons on why they feed their child the way they see fit.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My baby keeps on throwing up his formula, nd I need some advice on what to do nd I can't do breast milk
It’s also a chemical thing. When you nurse your body releases oxytocin so when you stop you end up coming off of a high. It’s tough and takes some time to regulate.
