This is my 6th time breastfeeding
Every time i equally love it and hate it. I’ve had cracked bleeding nipples, scratches all over my breasts, been engorged so bad it was seriously like I had boulders on my chest, I’ve leaked through my shirt while out to dinner, I’ve been through it all,
It’s hard being the only one that can feed the baby, only one of them took a bottle and yes I tried everything, but I also love the one on one time we get. I love nourishing my baby, but I don’t like that they need me all the time. All this to say, nothing is worth your mental health as a mom, postpartum depression can occur anytime in the first year, so if you need to do formula, DO IT! If you want to breast feed until they’re 3, DO IT! If you want to tandem nurse, DO IT! It’s your body, and it’s your choice, no matter how little of a person it’s serving. Just remember fed is always BEST!
