Hi ladies.
I'm gonna try make this as short as possible. Here are my details:
35 weeks pregnant with a 21 month daughter
Broke up with partner in August. Been a very stressful time. Have had very little support.
My daughter and I have an amazing bond and I give her so much time and attention that she is glued to me most of the time. Very territorial of me. This makes me nervous about bringing home baby.
I have moved back to my mums got support. I tried to bf my little girl last time but there were complications and I had to formula feed. This time I would love to breastfeed as I loved the experience first time round but I am concerned that as a single parent with her hands already full, that I will be making life hard for myself. My mum could feed the new baby while I have a bit of one on one time with my daughter if I decide to breastfeed. I might be able to get a break on the days my daughter is in crèche. Maybe go for a nap knowing my mam can feed baby when he wakes. All those pro's. I am very nervous about my toddler losing the plot at her once devoted mother sitting under a different baby breastfeeding every few hours.
I am so torn.
Any thoughts? x
