Is it a bad thing to not want to breast feed? I’m not saying I won’t try but if she doesn’t latch on I won’t be upset ... happened with my first and I was so depressed about it this time whatever happens happens
As much as I am 100% an advocate for breastfeeding, I will tell you that it is truly your body and your choice. I will recommend that you at least let the baby have the colostrum since it is will benefit baby greatly. If after that you say no, then let it be no. A depressed mama is not a mama at her best. Best of wishes for a healthy you and a healthy baby.
No not at all I prefer formula feeding my boobs are just entirely too small and my kids wouldn't latch at all and showed no interest I do believe fed is best!
I had a hard time with my first due to supply and latch issues. It was so stressful and I struggled the entire 6 weeks. I was really depressed about it and shouldn’t have been that hard on myself. If I have another, I won’t stress like that again. Do what is best for you!
I didn’t breastfeed either of mine and not guilty at all 🤷♀️
I thought about it but I hate my boobs being touched but either way my milk never came in with either so either way I wouldn’t have been able to
As long as baby is fed that’s what matters
Nope not at all. Like you with my first I felt guilty I couldn’t breast feed him.
My second I tried but there was a lot of complications with me after labor and she wouldn’t latch right. But I wasn’t as heart broken. Fed is best! 💜
Nope. I felt this way and continued breastfeeding knowing that I hate it. I started giving my little one formula little by little. I felt guilty at first but I've been better. My oldest has been a challenge weaning but we're getting there.
This happened to my with my 2nd. She wasn’t latching. I got so depressed I felt like I failed. But I got the support of my family and it’s been better since. I mean she drink formula. I guess I wasn’t producing or my body was to exhausted.
Yeah I took it really hard cause it was my first and I didn’t know any better but my body didn’t start producing until a week later I was so upset and depressed felt exactly like that like I failed now having a toddler and soon to have a newborn I don’t want to put myself through that stress so I’m hoping my body doesn’t let me down but if it does I’ll be prepared
@d.c, girl I’m on the same boat lol. I have a 4 year old and a 2 month old. I didn’t produce till about a week later too but it wasn’t a lot. It was less than an ounce. I felt horrible. Like how can I breast feed one but the other I can’t. I was so sad I cried all the time until my fiancé kept me thinking positive. Now I’m okay with my baby drinking formula because I understand that sometime women can’t produce. Doesn’t mean you are less of a mom or woman.
@starrmarie, I know that’s right we do the best we can ☺️💪🏽 and your baby will be healthy regardless my son had breast milk for only a month the rest was formula and he’s perfectly fine as long as your baby is happy and fed that’s all that matters 😌💕
