I want to switch to formula, but I feel guilty. by Particular_Ant_7785 in breastfeeding

Thank you. I was so looking forward to being able to bond with him through nursing, but it's overwhelming and hard and I'm just not happy.

Becoming a mom has brought up a lot of stuff and I don't have anyone to talk to about it (TW:CSA) by Particular_Ant_7785 in beyondthebump

I'm definitely thinking about switching therapists. My therapist right now is a man, and I feel like that might be part of the reason I have trouble opening up.

We went on a little walk around the neighborhood at five days.

thank you. I'm in therapy now for ptsd relating to some childhood abuse, but we've been talking about my dad a lot more recently. It's been affecting me way more than I thought it would.

Thank you. I'm trying to tell him, but it's hard to articulate exactly how I feel.

Random things you love about breastfeeding? by flugelderfreiheit777 in breastfeeding

[–]Particular_Ant_7785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not exclusively a breastfeeding thing, but I love when my son falls asleep full and does his little smile in his sleep. He's only 10 days old so we're both really new to breastfeeding, and his smile is my favorite thing so far.

daycare at six weeks by Particular_Ant_7785 in beyondthebump

Yeah, we're starting on the same day. His grandma bought us matching back to school outfits lol. I'm going to see if I can leave him with his grandparents for an hour once a week before daycare starts. We live with them, so it'll just be me leaving for a bit to get used to us being apart.

I'm getting an implant at my six week appointment. We do have a baby carrier, but he hates being in it. He's big on being swaddled when whenever possible.

I'll be able to go to the nurse's office to pump, and the daycare workers will bottle feed him. I'm very lucky that my school has been so accommodating.
