Tell me to suck it up

in Babies on the Brain

I don't really want to, but I really want to throw in the towel on the breastfeeding.  Someone talk me down. 

I feel like a failure and like my milk is causing my baby distress.  :-(

    OH honey, you can do it. I know it is so hard at first, and you are both still getting the hang of it. Stick with it, you are doing a great job!

    Hang in there honey!!!!!  BFing is very hard, but it's also very rewarding for both you and E!  If you need help, call an LC or a friend or someone who has been there.  Check out the BFing board on the bump, there are very helpfull and supportive people over there.  Don't give up!!!

    You can do it! You're still in the early, really tough phase.

    I promise it does get way better in a few weeks, also ditto seeing a Lac.Consult or calling LLL.

    You can do it,  Just get through the first 6 weeks.  Those are the hardest.  Once you past that it will get better.

    Remember that you are both still learning how to do this.

    Formula is really expensive and BFing burns calories.  That is what kept me going when the going got tough.  :)  GL!

    Hang in there. Maybe set some goals for yourself? Maybe try to make it to 6 weeks and see how you are feeling about it then.
