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?? 🙃

No lmao. My mental health tanked sooo hard and my formula-raised kid is perfect. Fully intend to refuse a lactation consult at the hospital and go formula from day 1 this time around
