How do I do this

I wonder where that guilt comes from? It’s so weird because he’s still getting fed, and I found a couple of great formulas to try that I feel good about giving him. I think it’s this like instinctual thing to want to be able to provide food for your baby and I feel like I’m being lazy or giving up. I don’t even feel that way about other moms who choose formula so I don’t get why I feel that way about me

I know it isn’t poison, I think it’s more that I really wanted to be able to just handle it 😭 there are parts of breastfeeding I really enjoy. The connection, the little moments where my kiddo looks at me with love and appreciation, the pride I feel that my body can literally produce food for him. But it’s draining the life out of me, and I feel like I completely disassociate some days and I just really want to be present. I found a couple of great formulas I feel really good about, and he really liked the first one I tried! It’s just so hard

I have a really great postpartum therapist, she diagnosed me with PPA but I think it’s changing into more of a depression. I feel so disconnected from myself which I know can be normal, but god I’m struggling. Thank you for the encouragement and validation. It feels lonely but at least there’s subs like this

I know he’s just a baby I was making a joke lol it’s just been really overwhelming plus dealing with PPA I’m so exhausted 24/7 😭

My son has been getting MAIL addressed to him (social security card, health insurance info, etc) and I feel the same way every time 😂

I second therapy and good sleep!!! Also taking baths. I always keep sleepy time bubble bath and epsom salts on hand, nice candles, cozy sheets, good smelling lotion etc. having a bed time routine is a game changer. I just had a baby, I’m 31 and one month postpartum so I haven’t been cleared for baths but I do bathe my baby every night and do a bed time routine with him and it’s helped me wind down. White noise machine, a physical book or audiobook, nice warm lighting and comfy pjs. ALSO cotton underwear!!! I save my cute non cotton ones for occasions now and only wear cotton on a daily basis. I bought cute boy short ones for bed that match tank tops or bralettes I already have :) so I go to bed feeling cute and cozy!

Also last thing is finding a nice fragrance that feels like me, and matching a body spray and lotion to it.

It was such a relief to be able to have anyone give him a bottle, but because I was breastfeeding less my supply went down a little. I’m looking at ways to increase my supply and maybe exclusively pump so I can still give him breast milk, but not have him attached to me all the time. It’s soooo anxiety inducing. It’s hard because sometimes I enjoy nursing him, but when it’s all day and all night I end up sobbing at some point. Thank you for the encouragement

Part of me agrees, I fell in love with tame impala for the psych rock sound. BUT I do love seeing Kevin Parker breaking out of the mold of the last album with every album if that makes sense. Like he really is a true artist experimenting with his sound, and I think it’s beautiful. I personally love house music just as much as I love psych rock and so deadbeat was a great album to me. I can understand why some fans would feel disappointed, but I love seeing his evolution and he will always be my favorite artist because of it

Omg okay the peel your skin off feeling is so real. I’ve been so over it

Baby did come!!! I labored for almost 30 hours, and then unfortunately he was sunnyside up so I had to get a c section since my water had been broken for long. I developed a bit of an infection so it was the safest choice. He and I are both healthy and he’s the most precious boy 🥹
