Breastfeeding
Filed Under Parenting
I hate breastfeeding. Every time Samantha wakes up and cries for food, I would clinched because i don’t want to take out my boobs to let her latch on. I know breastfeeding is suppose to be so much better but if it hurts me so much should I still continue? Samantha lost a huge amount of weight in the first week because I couldn’t get her to latch on correctly. After meeting with the pediatrician and getting one on one help with breastfeeding, Samantha has gain more weight than average babies. Now, Samantha wants to eat all the time and my poor boobs are really tired. I know if the latching is correct it shouldn’t hurt, but I say it’s still tough on the boobs to be worked on continuously. I feed Samantha almost every two hours and each time takes about an hour. Imagine having part of your skin pulled and rubbed for an hour several times a day, I guarantee it would hurt over time. I can’t express how much I really hate the 3 am feeding. I’m tired and I have to endure a long session of pain. Not what I thought motherhood is about. Hats off to all moms out there who breastfeeds their kid.
