i was going to just quit for the weekend then talk to an LC the following monday but she was doing so well on bottle feeding and i noticed a difference in me and her that i just stopped over all.
almost 2 weeks since i’ve stopped nursing (just pumping and giving her the milk or giving formula here and there) and my mental health has been so much better 😅 was creeping into baby blues in the beginning before i made the switch 🙃
i struggled with breastfeeding with Levi in the beginning but only because of using the nipple shield. he was getting enough and was content. with Caroline she wasn’t getting enough and it hurt every single time she latched. they looked for ties and she supposedly didn’t have any
Caroline doesn’t make the gulping noise when nursing that levi did when he was younger so now i don’t think i have a good supply or let down (there’s other reasons i think this but this just adds to them) 🙃🙃🙃
i think Caroline is clusterfeeding and i’m so exhausted, idk what to do besides put her on the boob when the pacifier won’t calm her. levi never clusterfed 🥴 last time i slept was from 10pm-12:30am 😴
breastfeeding is going so good though i’m so grateful, once the engorgement goes away i’ll be killing it postpartum. Caroline is a champ and i can finally walk with little to no pain 💪🏽
with baby girl coming in 10 days and this formula shortage i hope my freaking boobs do their job 🥺🥺🥺 i’m gonna have to keep up with pumping and make sure i use both boobs this time, stressed af 😵💫
