I have decided to wave the white flag

So after my post yesterday I read all of your comments, thought about it, talked to my husband about it and have come to the decision to stop breastfeeding. I didn't have a horrible night last night or this morning but I just am ready to enjoy being a mommy and enjoy my sweet baby boy. I feel like a burden has been lifted off my shoulders! I feel like what is best for mommy is best for baby right now. I am so much happier today and I hope baby boy will be happier with a momma who isn't frustrated all day and night. I wanted to say thank you to all of you lovely ladies for your input yesterday. It always helps to know you aren't the only one struggling. 

So now I just have to get through the pain of engorgement and letting my milk dry up, but as you all say: this too shall pass. 

 I am a little sad about not being as successful as I had hoped, but no decision is ever made without some cons.

    Good for you for making a decision that you are happy and comfortable with. I wish we knew each other IRL because I went through the same thing this week. Best wishes to you!

    I haven't seen your other post... But you have to do what is best for you.  I didn't bf my dd past 7 weeks, she is happy, healthy and smart.  It was making me crazy and depressed, IMO she was better off with a happy momma than some bm (emphas

    That's great that you are happy with your decision.  I keep thinking about quitting pumping because I am so frustrated and I don't pump enough.  I hope I can come to a decision happily like you did!

    If it makes you feel better BF is going so much easier the second time around. I had so many difficulties with DD. but so far it has been a dream with DS. So there is hope for next time. Enjoy your little one. Time passes too quickly.
