I'm going to ask for something to dry up my milk. If this is normal (for me, I know its not normal for other women. The species would be dead) I want no part of it. The constant 24/7 severe sunburn feel and the razor blades and knives latch-on that is again taking longer and longer to go away... I'm suffering and I'm scared of my baby. And I don't have to be. I can get rid of this scourge.
Happy World Breastfeeding Week.
PS. Maybe some would say I'm only 2 weeks 2 days in to this, give it more time. The thing is this is the same problem I had last time. I had this pain and sensitivity for 6 months until I finally, finally gave up the pump and weaned. It won't go away for me. It didn't last time and there is no reason to believe it would this time. This is not OK.
Rachel, Don't let the world guilt you into it. I couldn't breastfeed - no milk at all - and my kids are fine. Wicked smart, healthy as little horses, not allergic to anything (except their chores!)
ReplyDeleteSeriously - it's not the big deal that the Moms make it out to be.
