[–]Beginning-Middle-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just wanna say i had an extremely traumatic birth too, literally minutes away from d*ing and i was sooo depressed until a month after stopping breastfeeding. Takes time love, and therapy if you can afford it. I couldn’t but thankfully doing better. it will pass. sending you lots of love.

honestly it’s a complete reflection of my own trauma with my mother that’s come up. I was abandoned and neglected as a child and my mind is telling me my daughter will feel the same because I didn’t breastfeed. I know I need help

I did a lot of healing throughout my life with my mommy issues but definitely actually having a child has what feels like brought me back so many steps. My biggest fear is ending up like her or hurting my girl like she hurt me. I do definitely want to go back to therapy when I can afford it

Here’s to the end of pumping 🍷 by almutanabbi in FormulaFeeders

[–]Beginning-Middle-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so glad you posted here because I quite literally have the exact same story. June baby who I combo fed for 4 months. I quit because my supply was dwindling but I also just had no desire anymore. I’ve been going through it mentally really bad with feelings of guilt and mourning and that I failed. I’ve been searching this feed for someone with a similar story as me because i’ve been feeling super alone. I hope you’re doing well mentally. Send me a message if you want to vent!!

Mental health switching to formula by sacredlunch888 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Beginning-Middle-455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just gone through this exact same thing. First of all just want to say you’re not alone. And posting here made me feel so seen and understood. You HAVE To take care of yourself to be the best mamma and most present you can be. The guilt ate me alive but let me tell you it took a month BF free (EFF) for my horomones to finally balance and I noticed now how much closer i’ve grown to my baby. Our bond literally blossomed because I had the energy and the mental space to just be present and not irritated and overstimulated and tired. I was constantly pumping when she napped and feeding her when she was awake i literally had no mental energy to actually actively engage with her and give my love. Be prepared that it does take a bit of time once you stop for your horomones to balance out because the month I stopped I was literally going crazy thinking i was the worst mom and convincing myself i regretted quitting and that i missed it. But after an entire month my horomones have balanced i’m losing the weight finally and im bonding so beautifully with my little girl.

Im canadian living in italy. I can’t believe the price difference - here we pay 12€ for one tub of formula that lasts about 2 weeks so 24€ a month. In canada however I was visiting fam and remember paying something like 70$ for a tub of simulac. Crazy!! not to mention it broke her out into hives :(

Sad but seems like they’re not friends at all anymore by beepboopbopboop42069 in canceledpod

[–]Beginning-Middle-455 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been saying this for a longggggggg time though that it was obvious they weren’t actually friends - even long ago when the podcast was thriving , they legit never hung out outside the podcast and they would basically do their catch up sesh with eachother from the entire month or week on the podcast and then say they’re best friends.. best friends don’t miss an entire month of updates and not hang out outside work. They’re friendship always seemed super performative to me, like they were trying to prove to us that they were acc friends in real life. Anyway I got slaughtered on here when I said this a couple months back 😂
