Never realised how little support Id get for bfing
As the title suggests I am so over my supposed support network not supporting me on my bfing journey ...With the exception of dh, almost every time I say V has been unsettled, not sleeping, crying...normal baby stuff that any normal parent would fret over...."Maybe theres something wrong with your milk supply" or "You just dont know how much shes getting" UUUMMM Yes I do because I weigh her pretty much every week and am only swapping to fortnightly because Im confident in my supply having bf for 4 months already.....that pretty much makes me an expert over someone who has not bf their child.
Now this is certainly not a pro bf, anti ff as if V needed formula she would get it without hesitation but for my sanity I wish those around me who tried to bf and couldnt or chose not to please do not transfer their fear, disapointment, whatever about their own journey onto me... Sometimes I think they would all click their toungues and tell me they are so sorry if my supply did drop, and then they would finally feel satisfied in themselves....My baby is just fine and so is my milk.
Is anyone out there amazed at the lack of family and friends support over this? I am honestly dumbfounded...
