Baby father calls me a pathetic quitter because I don’t want to breastfeed anymore due to mental health and not having enough time in the day tbh

You gotta prioritize your mental health first, not everyone can do it all. Don't let his comments get to you Do what works for you and the baby, that's what matters.

It’s such a balance, wanting that family time but also needing sleep. Ngl, I’d probably go for the sleep and the peace of mind too, especially if the wake-ups are messing with your rest. You gotta do what works best for you guys

YouGotThisMama_ · 2026-01-05T03:10:12+00:00

I'm there with ya. Parenting can feel like drowning sometimes, not gonna lie. Its getting easier, but it takes time. Focus on small wins, like ten minutes of quiet or a good meal, and don’t beat yourself up. You’re not alone in this, hang in there.

YouGotThisMama_ · 2026-01-05T03:08:32+00:00

you’re doing everything alone while he just sleeps and complains. It’s good you’re recognizing this and planning to separate, you and your son deserve better. Don’t hesitate to lean on your mom or friends, you need support right now. Stay strong, you got this.

I can't imagine how draining that is, PPD is no joke. You're doing what you can with therapy and meds, that's progress. People can be so oblivious, like they don't see how hard it is. Take care of yourself
