So fed up...
| Thu, 07-26-2012 - 9:24pm |
With pumping that is. Even 12 weeks later, I'm still bruised, red, and sore. I'm so tired of feeling like I can't go anywhere or do anything. I've decided that I've made it 3 months and that's pretty good considering all that we've been through. I'm trying to wean myself now so I'm not in a ton of pain. As much as I don't want to pay for formula, it's less of a hassle in the long run.

I totally agree! My older 2 kids were nearly completely formula fed (did get some BM in the beginning but not a lot). My 3rd was EBF (well almost, she did get formula in the beginning to help flush out the bilirubin) for 2y4m. I was sooo dissapointed that I wasn't able to BF Tobi... She did get BM up until about a month ago, but it was mixed with formula. She did get BM her 1st 2 weeks of life though. Once her feeding became full of issues, it became too stressful.
If you get bruised, you are doing it wrong or the breast plate isn't the right one for you, you need to ask for professional help.
I am breastfeeding fully, no pump and I don't feel tied up at all, but that could be because NP is totally OK here and I don't need to hid.
My only problem is that I have 4 huge mosquito bites on my left boob, that itches.
