Pump with me 💋😴

I am a first time mom and the kiddo is 7months now. Boy has two teeth and they are razor sharp. I ultimately decided to stop breastfeeding because of said teeth (he bites hard asf baby😭) so he is bottle fed. It makes me sad that I am not continuing to breastfeed my baby because i feel like I’m losing a deeper connection but at the end of the day, if my nips are so beat up it is painful to touch them I know I am making the right choice for myself and my little one.

Anyone else struggle with this? Let’s talk about it 🗣️🗣️

... Read moreBreastfeeding can be one of the most rewarding yet challenging experiences for new mothers. Many first-time moms encounter obstacles like teething infants and difficulties in maintaining a breastfeeding routine. If you're transitioning from breastfeeding to bottle-feeding due to your baby's sharp new teeth, know that you’re not alone. Teething can cause discomfort for babies, which often leads them to bite during breastfeeding, resulting in pain for moms. It's important to understand that choosing to bottle-feed doesn't diminish the bonding experience between mother and child. There are several ways to still create a deep connection, including skin-to-skin contact, reading together, or cuddling during bottle feeding. Moreover, when facing breastfeeding challenges, many mothers find it helpful to share and connect with others who are in similar situations. Engaging in communities, whether online or in person, can provide valuable support and information. It’s essential to remember that every mother's journey is unique, and finding what works best for you and your child is what matters most. You are making the right choice by prioritizing both your and your baby's comfort and wellbeing.
