Is breastfeeding worth it?

I just think post partum is hell and a lot tougher than the actual giving birth. And breastfeeding is the main cause of it. I mean not only it doesn't allow you to sleep, it causes you physical and mental pain. It feels like torture. I cannot wait for my baby to turn 6 months because I can finally stop bf. I really don't think there's much enjoyment to it. Like alright I like to see when my son is latching on to me but hey there are so many other ways to bond that doesn't cause my chest to hurt. I get sharp pain ever so often in my breast. It feels like someone is sticking needles into them. And then, the breast pads are so uncomfortable to wear outside. Why are they so scratchy? They ruin my mood instantly. Also my breast feels so tender most of the time that even a light touch feels uncomfortable. I also hate showering now because it hurts my breast. Even wrapping a towel over my body causes discomfort. Can someone just tell me if the antibodies in BM is worth all this agony? Can someone shed light scientifically if it is superior of all milk and helps with baby's immunity? Bf is a nightmare

Usually I only try this in the morning. Does anyone encounter this problem? How/wat should I do ? Feeling stressed as I need to wrk

Try pigeon bottles! The wide neck ones. My sisters who have multiple babies said it works!

Do NOT shake your breast milk!

u heard it. swirl ur bm! shaking will denature the proteins in ur bm:) the proteins are large molecules that contains string chains of amino acids. These large molecules will twist, fold, turn, branch and scrunch together in very specific unique ways. The way that these proteins connect and orient themselves is critical to how they work in building muscle, killing bacteria, or doing whatever function that they are designed to do.

My 8 months old son has been eating nothing except for my milk. I've been direct latching him since day 1 till now. It's fine right? Not eating, just breastmilk.

Stop breastfeeding

I’m a mum of 2, my first born is now 3 and my second is 2 months young. I breastfed my first for more than a year, mainly pump and feed, and latch only for comfort. Now the breastfeeding cycle is back, and tbh it is damnnnn tiring.. I don’t enjoy it. To me it’s like a chore, very time consuming and I will have curfew, I can’t enjoy my outing because at the back of my head it’ll be all the time schedule for the next pump. Not just that, the engorgement is a bytch! Omg! Currently at 2 months pp, I’ve dragged my pump intervals to 6 hourly, 10 mins each side so I don’t trigger to produce more milk, and I will have about 100-150ml in total for every session. Now, I’m thinking of dragging my intervals to 8 hourly. But I’m in dilemma of doing it.. I feel guilty for my second born.. because if I do drag, I will produce lesser and lesser which means she will not have breast milk for as long as her brother. Can mummies out there share your thoughts. What do you mummies do?

research shows that just 10ml bm is enough for a child to benefit from it everyday you can start a freezing system and alternate with fm.

Breastfeeding Vs pumping

Hi mommies. Need your advice. I mostly pump every 3 hours. However since my son recently learned to latch, I have been breastfeeding more often. I am now wondering if my breast can keep up with his demand. He bf every 2 hours while previously I only pump every 3 hours. Will my body work its way to match my son's feeds/replenish fast enough to meet his demand?

Hello! Usually yes. The body is very smart at increasing the supply. Milk is made when there is milk removal, either by pumping or latching. Now that the frequency is more I.e. every 2 hrs instead of 3hrs, it is telling the body more milk is needed and the body will make milk faster. Also, baby doesn’t drink everything, so there will always be something left. I’m was a pumping and formula mom turn exclusive latched mom from week 8. No issues with supply. Just follow baby’s cue and feed on demand. You can check that he has enough with the wet diaper count
