World breastfeeding week stuff is killing me
The immense sadness that I’m feeling every time I see anything about this is hurting me.
I know that pumping is breastfeeding and you know that pumping is breastfeeding, but the rest of the world seems to look down on EPers.
Then of course there’s the WHO that recommends breastfeeding for AT LEAST 2 years. But the benefits after 1 are mostly related to comfort and regulation, so EP doesn’t count there.
I’m not here by choice and that’s really getting me today. I wanted so badly to nurse my baby and tried approximately 500 independent times over 5 months to do so. My baby screamed if she so much as saw boobs, so that’s a hard pass. I’ve never failed at something that I worked so hard on before and I’m not coping well.
