I hated breastfeeding. It was painful, too complicated with my larger breasts, and my baby was never satisfied. I didnt feel connected to my baby from it. I went to multiple lactation consultations, paid to see the best. Tried different positions, but everytime I had to feed my baby I hated it. It felt weird. After weeks of breastfeeding, I opted for formula and have been much much happier. By no means am I promoting formula but this is just worked for me and my story. Everyone around me made me feel so bad, my doctor, the pediatrician, my mom, my husband, i felt so much judgement even from strangers when i pulled out the formula to make milk. Why is it such a big deal? Shouldn’t mom be happy to raise a happy baby.
