Support Needed / Guilt Related 🧸 Regret?
Did you feel regret about not breastfeeding after a while?
At first I definitely felt guilty but I’m almost 2 months in and now I just feel regret that I didn’t try harder instead. I only tried to breastfeed once in the hospital but I already knew in my heart that I’d be a much happier mom not breastfeeding.
But still why didn’t I keep going?? 🙃

Nope, not at all, esp now that I am further away from those initial pp hormones. It has been one of my best decisions...but then again, I dont see it as being less than bf. I was also formula fed and I don't have 6 toes or anything lol. My baby is thriving and I have been able to be so present and not touched out, which I know bf would have caused. I just never had a want to do it though.
