My friend has ten week old twins and is on her knees. She is so exhausted that she has stopped driving in case she crashes the car.
She is giving very loud hints that she would like to give up breast feeding so that her DP and other friends and family can share the load. Getting up six times a night to feed is beyond a joke.
Everyone is saying she shouldn't give up and that she's been a 'marvel' etc but as I have been there and worn this tee shirt she is really looking to me for advice.
As a mother of twins myself I totally feel for her and I gave up breast feeding for precisely the same reason but I'm really nervous to say so as giving up is so final. Also my twins have allergies and I often wonder if I'd just gone on longer...aaahhh.
I don't want to project my own regrets onto her but nor do I want to make her feel 'forced' to carry on.
What does anyone else think?
AIBU?
to not tell my friend that it's okay to stop breastfeeding?
