Am I a bad mum for not wanting to produce breastmilk anymore
Am i really a bad mum for taking medication to stop production of my milk? Im only 6 days post partum, but pumping has been taking a toll on my mental health. Not because of the low supply, but because of the frequent pumping and having to do it in the middle of the night too. As I’m not able to latch baby, im only pumping. And it’s really affecting my mental health on another level. Not including the extreme engorgement that had me crying nonstop. I then decide to go to KKH to get medication to stop my milk production, as advised by my gynae, as I don’t think I can survive another day doing all these. I also went thru e-csect, the recovery is also not helping. I feel like im going thru so many pain all at once. However i was judged by everyone for doing that. Everyone, even the nurse, told me I gave up too early and pity my newborn. But i believe mental health is more important and I believe babies on full FM grows the same as babies on mixfeed or BM. Am I really a bad mother for doing this 😔 Any mummies feed their babies full FM and their babies doing perfectly well ? #firstbaby #firsttimemom
