Breastfeeding is causing problems..

This is mostly a rant..

My son has been pretty much EBF since day one; however, he NEEDS to learn how to use a bottle because I have to go back to work soon.

We’ve been trying and trying and trying and it’s just not working. We’ve tried every bottle, every temperature, every position. We’ve reached out for professional help. I really think we have tried it all and the most he’ll drink is .5 oz.

When I say he needs to learn- I mean it. I am the one who makes an income in our family and my husband will stay home to take care of the baby.

I can not live on an inverse schedule and nurse him all night because I need to be sharp at work. (Although deep down I know this is gonna be the only solution)

I should be overjoyed that I am able to feed my son but I’m pissed. I am pissed that we listened to the lactation consultants and held off on introducing a bottle. I’m pissed that I can’t get away or get help because I am the only one who can feed my baby. And I’m pissed that I’m gonna have to go back to work and also be up all night feeding my son.
