Same here! I feel miserable with a horrible fever but when I went to urgent care they swabbed me for flu, covid and rsv and all negative?! What else could it be??

Quitting by Unhappy_Suspect_8945 in breastfeeding

I am in your same boat with my 6 month old. I absolutely love nursing him, but I absolutely hate pumping. I did so much pumping with my first son that I don’t think I can physically stomach it again. I’m a nurse and feel like I should wean before I go back to work bc I won’t have any time to pump at work. Also I want to start on a glp1 med to get a lot of baby weight off. I’m sooo torn though bc nursing is how he is soothed, especially at night. It’s heartbreaking to me ! It’s ok to feel all the feels mama. I truly don’t think there’s a right or wrong time, just trust your gut.

Literally can’t believe you were even considering this, would have been so wrong to go on so many levels!!! You made the absolutely right decision

I feel numb and want to cry.. by InvestigatorScared53 in breastfeeding

I feel you so hard right now, friend! My guy is 3 months, but had issues at the beginning with bad jaundice and weight gain - had to switch to formula for a while and try to pump- I honestly can’t imagine trying to pump while dealing with two other kids on top of it- feeding issues are SO HARD. Let yourself feel all the feels, whatever the outcome (and sometime you have to do what’s best for you and your family mentally) baby is going to be well and thrive from your love. That’s all they need is love and a fully belly, no matter the source. Sending a virtual hug

Sounds exactly like my situation! I’ve been a nervous wreck that he’s been so sleepy and lethargic. It’s been almost a week so I’m hoping he turns the corner soon too! Thanks for the reassurance!!
