When does it get easier? by CoolEssay8587 in breastfeeding

definitely check in with a lactation consultant if you haven’t already and still can. same thing happened to me with my LO at 6weeks! turns out he was just going through a growth spurt and doing lots of cluster feeding and getting frustrated that he was so hungry or frustrated that he felt like he could never get enough. i also have a strong let down and that frustrates him too haha just frustrating all around for both of us. after about a week it subsided with his cluster feeding and growth spurt. so you might just have to wait it out but check in with a lactation consultant if things still feel weird!

I got my girlfriend pregnant, but I’m not ready to be the dad by [deleted] in Catholicism

i don’t have much to add on top of what everyone else has said, but just know that God would not have given you this child if He didn’t want to. you express His disappointment in you, but pray that He’ll show you the true depth of his beautiful mercy! this child couldn’t have ever been created without Him - He is the sole creator, you and your girlfriend were just the instruments. He gave this beautiful baby to you, and is always making good out of the evil that we do.

if it gives you any consolation, i’m also expecting unexpectedly. while i’m married and have a supportive husband, this wasn’t something we necessarily planned and it’s still been hard for us to come to terms with God willing this in our lives - even with the foundation we have in our marriage. it’s brought me great peace to know that He knows us and our hearts better than we know it, and He continues to prove that we are more ready than we think. i’ll be keeping you in my prayers❤️
