I am currently breastfeeding my second child, who is a month old. I breastfed my first child, who was tongue tied, but expressed all his feeds. This time round, breastfeeding is going relatively well. My daughter feeds well - she's a guzzler and, although she is never settled after a feed (we never have that milk drunk phase - various professionals think she just suffers from wind worse than most babies), she is gaining weight well. The breastfeeding consultant has shown me some great positions and breastfeeding is comfortable. The problem is I hate it. It makes my skin crawl and I long to bottle feed. I can't explain why I loathe it so much - I think it's partly because it feels so odd and also because she doesn't go longer than 2 hours between the start of one feed and the beginning of another. I guess I feel a bit trapped. I know this is my problem and I need to get over it. I just wondered if anyone had experienced the same and it had got better?
Thank you so much X X
