Iām sad. Breastfeeding is not working out. Again. I had a horrible go at it with all four of my kids. They end up losing more weight and for longer than the doctors like. So then I have to supplement. DS had to get his tongue tie clipped and it didnāt help. Now it seems he just prefers the bottle. I donāt want to give up but at this point it seems to be my only option. Iām sorry that you are disappointed but hopefully the feeling passes when the weight starts getting better. Are you considering pumping? Itās another alternative if you arenāt ready to completely go to FF. I hope that you feel better when itās not as stressful.

I have to make 3 solo trips out of the house today with DS2, 2 to do drop off and pick up for DS1 from daycare and another to the pedi for another weight check. Itās my first time driving as well since the RCS. I have no idea how this is going to work out since DS1 is not very cooperative and DS2 has been constantly hungry and having lots and lots of runny poops.

I am wide awake and shaking/crying from the excruciating pain of the stiches/tear. Like I donāt even know how to position myself to get some relief so that I can sleep. It is going to be a long few hours until I can call my OBās office and request to see her so that she can check everything looks fine. I feel like she maybe stitched a muscle in there. So much pain š°

onlymee, I completely understand. DS#1 had a tongue tie and he still wouldn't latch after it was clipped. We went to multiple lactation consultants to no avail. We syringe fed and I pumped for three months in the hope that he would figure it out, but he never did. It was very difficult to let go, but it was putting too much pressure on me so we switched to only formula. I had a lot of irrational guilt to process, but it was the best choice in the end as I had much more patience with my son when I wasn't constantly trying to pump or get him latched. I wish you all the best in whatever you do. Madymoiselle, that sounds horrible! I hope they can fix or help you out with that pain ASAP!

E had her 1 month well check. She is up to 8lbs 5oz and 21 inches now. She was 6lbs 5oz and 19 inches at birth.
I went to OB about my stress and anxiety and she feels itās all normal feelings . Gave me some info on a postpartum doula and said this too shall pass. She made me feel better that itās not just me but with a high needs baby and a toddler at home itās just a lot to handle while trying to give 200% of myself.

I'm just commiserating with everyone who is having a rough go right now. Big creepy internet hugs all around. My miserable-ness continued into today. I had a boohoo and a chat with my mommy and I'm feeling a bit better. My BFF is coming by later, and I might actually get out of my PJs before then.

I went and walked around Target and BRU while DD was napping. I got a few things we needed and I feel very much the way I did physically the day before I went into labor with DD. So fx thatās a good sign!

Thanks guys. I know Iāll get over it soon. Itās just this damn initial guilt. Right now Iāve been pumping 8x a day and trying to get him to latch as much as i can and itās just too time consuming. I think itās harder for me this time because itās so final. Iām happy with my decision to be done having kids but itās still so weird.

I ate my breakfast today and I haven't eaten anything since. I know I should, but my heartburn is so bad, and nothing sounds appealing :-(

Well I made it to the OB, and indeed, one of my stitches is in a muscle or nerve. She said she could remove it but then it could re-open š° so i decided to stay in pain until the stitches resolve. Only 2-3 more days ...

I think itās harder for me this time because itās so final. Iām happy with my decision to be done having kids but itās still so weird. With DD we got to this point too, where we were spending what seemed like about 21/24 hours in a day either trying to get her to eat or pumping. I felt so guilty when we switched her to formula, and so relieved at the same time which made me feel even more guilty. This time Iām still pumping and supplementing after feeds but itās gone better and seems more manageable. Iām sorry that youāre struggling and feeling sad about it, breastfeeding is so hard. š

Are they saying that the pain will pass in 2-3 days?

FX I can sleep tonight with that.

On a very plus side, I just napped for an hour with both my babies, the little one in her bassinet and my big girl holding my hand. Best š
