@MRSclarke08‌ I feel the same. I read a formula shaming article where it said how breastfeeding moms feel so bad for formula feeding moms since formula feeding takes so much time with making bottles. My husband and I do not understand this. I would have to make bottles anyway when I go back to work. And i had to supplement at least 2/3 of what she ate. And we can take turns feeding her. It takes 5 minutes to make a bottle. 15 tops to feed her. It took me at least an hour to nurse, supplement, then pump. Even longer when i added in sns. So. I don't get it.

I'm upset that I couldn't because of the benefits (that I suspect are not THAT huge), or being free, and the calorie burning. But we are all sleeping more and enjoying life more, so that lessens the sting.

I can't wait for the milk to be gone. I think by Monday I'll be done. Boobs are less full today. I'm both relieved and sad.

FFFC: I thought about leaving this bmb when I realized most talk is now about boobs and latches. I'm so jealous and I wanted to do it. It's sort of painful to keep reading about breastfeeding.

I have had the same thoughts, but as I am working through my decision, it's easier to handle some of the conversations here.  And I would miss everyone and all the bebe pictures!

Dudes. Don't leave. Give it awhile, pretty soon those who are BFing will get it down and 90% of the conversations won't revolve around it. It will move on to talk about solid foods, STTN, crawling, teething, etc. Stuff we can all relate to. Plus, once our babies aren't so young, we will be able to talk about more than just newborn shit constantly.



I'm looking forward to the bolded!

Me too.
