This sounds so bad but I just don't enjoy breastfeeding. I am a few weeks into it and I know its hard and can get better but I am finding that all I do is clock watch to make sure I feed on time. I am also irritable by mid-day with my 3 yr. old bc I am so exhausted and I dread having to do the next feeding,etc.. I feel like if I wean sooner than later that I am doing something wrong. Believe me, I don't want to pay for formula or even run the risk of LO having gastric issues from formula,etc. but I find myself asking myself daily how much longer I want to do this for. Funny thing is, I am not a lazy person either, but thats how I feel if I stop. I am happy I have done it up to now but almost want to hear, its not for everyone,etc. I know its my choice but like to hear others experiences.

I'm 12 1/2 weeks in. I can't say I LOVE it but it gets easier as they start to go longer between feedings. I'm back to work and I think I hate pumping more than BF at this point It's nice to have DD "need" to be with me at night.
Do what works for you but it does get a little easier!
