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?? 🙃

I felt the same way 1-2 months after I stopped. Now almost at almost 4 months after stopping, I feel no regret or guilt. The only time I regret it is when I have to prep a bottle when traveling since my daughter hates cold formula all the sudden. 🤣 But that's a convenience thing, not a guilt thing.

Mine does too. Portable bottle warmer might help 😊
