Re: Am I the only one who doesn't like BF?
I have had times where I have not been so thrilled with BFing. I have encountered lots of BFing problems in my 4 experiences. Each time I was able to make it longer and I felt good about that. This is my first time extended BFing. Most of the time I feel good about it and love being able to comfort DS.
I am a measure and control kind of person, and BFing is a real leap of faith sort of thing. My other issue is that I am sometimes antsy when I need to get other things done and baby wants to nurse. I guess that is part control issue, too. I have had a hard time surrendering to baby's needs at times. But, all in all I will miss it when DS weans. I feel like I have finally gotten it right and now this is very likely my last baby. ![]()

Re: Am I the only one who doesn't like BF?
Yeah, I kind of felt like that. It was only towards the end that it was really sweet, but then she weaned. Just know that you're doing the best for your child, and even if you see it as a chore, so is going out to buy formula and making up bottles before each feeding. I know it seemed like a chore a lot for me, but I tried to see it as a break from my other chores, LOL.

Re: Am I the only one who doesn't like BF?
I loved breastfeeding.. until my son got teeth. :/
Even before that, he was a "contortionist" nurser: he'd kick me in the neck and face while nursing from wriggling all around. More often than not, I just feel nauseated when Jed nurses. I, too, view it as something that has to be done--like a chore. Oh, well... it is what is best for him, so I'll stick with it!

Hang in there! She's still so young that you may hate it less as she gets a bit older. Still so tough and nonstop at her age.

Re: Am I the only one who doesn't like BF?
makes me feel better...cause i am dreading it. I am dreading having to wear a bra with nursing pads so i can't wear fitted shirts since the pads will show.
I am dreading it being painful. I am dreading being the one who has to feed all the time. I am dreading having to excuse myself in front of people (not comfortable bfing in front of my dad...just couldn't do it). I know it's the right thing to do and really want it to work out...but i am not psyched about it!

Re: Am I the only one who doesn't like BF?
I "did it for the baby" for the first 2-3 months. It was uncomfortable for me and then it slowly started to turn into something I actually enjoyed. It stopped being uncomfortable, I started to feel less like Niagra Falls, and it became 2nd nature.
So, things might turn around for you. One things w/babies is that their always changing and growing!

Re: Am I the only one who doesn't like BF?
There are times when I really just don't "feel like it". Especially when I am just so exhausted from all the kids! (I run a in home daycare). I just want a break sometimes. DH will give her expressed breast milk, but then I just have to pump, so no real break.
But then there is other times when I love the quiet time with her. Where we can sit and relax. She gives me little smiles that just melt my heart and then she keeps eating. I know she really enjoys the snuggle time with mommy. And those moments is what keeps me wanting to breastfeeding her and never want to stop. Sure sometimes I feel like the "dairy queen", but I know this is what is best for her and I love giving her only the best!
