Breastfeeding is making me crazy.

I'm kind of feeling like a failure right now, and I just need to let it out and maybe get some advice. Ugh.

Firstly, I'm so freaking pissed off. I went into this whole breastfeeding this knowing what I did and did not want, but I feel ike everytime I turn around, somethig else goes wrong. For example, when Evan was born...because he was so large his

I say just keep pumping, even if he won't latch onto you. At least it will be pumped breastmilk, not formula, right?

Keep on keeping on, little mama! It will get better! You are doing the right thing, for sure.

PS... I wanna see pics of the baby!

Thank you so much for the encouragement!! I definately needed that right now.

(I may or may not be crying because your comment made me feel 100x better)

I'll work on getting some pictures up!

Don't forget that you are only a few days postpartum... so your hormones are probably making you feel crazy. ;)

I dunno why breastfeeding is such a big deal in the US. Everywhere else I've been, people don't really even consider feeding their baby any other way.

I promise you, if he gets hungry enough, he'll latch on! Ha ha. It's instinctual, after all...

I don't have any advice to share, but I'm sorry you're having such a struggle with it. I hope things get much easier very soon ♥

Wow, so much good advice! I don't even know where to start to thank you for spending as much time as I'm sure that you did to give me so much advice. I really appreciate it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
