So I spent Monday through to Tuesday night away from my 15 week old. He is ebf and was given my freezer stash of breastmilk. I had major issues while away as i forgot my breast pump and couldnt find one to buy. I attempted hand expressing but by the time i got home my boobs were hard, sore and massive. I expressed 12oz in one go last night. Baby slept through so first feed was this morning and seemed to go ok. He had another feed late morning too. He then started fussing and latching on for a minute and pulling off so i gave him a bottle. I was determined tonight and was realy trying to give breast as i thought it was nipple confusion but it was no good, hadmore breast milk by bottle. I thought id better try to express as boobs not really full considering the amount of time. Literally only able to express a few drops. Ive broken my boobs. Poor lo was fussing because ive dried up. I feel like a terrible mummy. Im so sad. Really not ready to end our journey. What can i do?
