Middle of the night my daughter will keep crying even after I feed and changed her I don’t get enough sleep I only at 2h a sleep person day I pumped every 2-3h also feed her 2-3h doing it all alone as a single mommy super tiring I would ignore her cries for 1 min then try to sooth her I feel like a bad mom for ignoring her… I broke down a few times INFRONT of her I couldn’t take it anymore. #First_Baby

You're trying your hardest, and you are certainly not a bad mom, please be assured of that. Is there anyone you can seek support from to help you out , at least in the daytime? Do reach out to your family if they are able to help. Also,I agree with the other mummies on giving formula or mixed feeding for your baby if breastfeeding and pumping is causing u a lot of stress. You lack sleep, and breastfeeding/pumping schedule is extremely demanding. Fed is best. As long as baby is fed, she'll grow well. Your mental health is very impt. A happy mummy is as impt as a happy baby.
