to not feel guilty about stopping breastfeeding...

[AmberSocks]

This is my 4th baby and hes 6 weeks old.I breastfed him for 2 weeks then stopped because i was so sore.I know theres more i could of done to keep it going and sort it out but in all honesty i just felt like i want to enjoy him,not dread every feed.

I didnt bf my first two babies for more than a couple of days (same kind of reasons)but bf my daughter for 2 yrs and only stopped because my milk dried up when pregnant again,i felt like it gave us such a close bond and i put that down to bf,bu i feel that again this time even though im not bf anymore.

I dont feel guilty but now i feel guilty that i dont feel guilty?

Do not feel guilty. Enjoy your baby and don't give it another thought.

No need to feel guilty. There's so much pressure on mothers to bf, I find it really annoying. I know what you mean though

If you don't think breastfeeding is benefiting either of you then don't do it.

The vast majority of UK mums have given up breastfeeding by the time their baby is 6 weeks old, so you aren't doing anything unusual.

Your fourth baby and you've not stopped worrying about daft things yet? Honestly, stop worrying and enjoy it! I don't think the bond is there because of bfing - i bf my ds and didn't feel like i loved him till 6 months.

You only feel guilty because you think you should - your ds will be as happy as a clam, I'm sure.

Never feel guilty about how you feed your baby, long as he is fed

Congratulations though, hope you're enjoying him guilt free!

Why should you feel guilty - I say enjoy your beautiful baby :)

Hooray to enjoying beautiful babies! You're very sensible to not feel guilty x x

you shouldnt feel guilty at all stop if it isnt working , just being nosey but what was so different about your child that you fed for ages (not a judgement just right nosy )
