feeling guilty for not able to breast feeding baby correctly

1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months ago

A. It's completely natural to feel some guilt or frustration when breastfeeding doesn’t go as planned, but it's important to remember that feeding your baby—whether by breast or formula—is what truly matters. Here are some thoughts to help ease the guilt: 1. You're Doing Your Best: Every baby and mother have different experiences with breastfeeding, and challenges are common. Your effort and care are what truly count. 2. Fed is Best: Whether through breastfeeding, pumping, or formula, the most important thing is that your baby is fed, healthy, and growing. Both breast milk and formula provide the nutrients your baby needs. 3. Seek Support: If breastfeeding feels difficult, consider reaching out to a lactation consultant. They can offer advice and techniques to help make breastfeeding more comfortable for you and your baby. 4. Self-Care is Important: Be kind to yourself. You’re already doing an amazing job caring for your baby. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and that's okay. 5. Bonding is Not Just About Feeding: Bonding with your baby happens in so many ways—through cuddling, talking, and playing. Feeding is just one part of your connection with your child. Let go of guilt and focus on the fact that you’re providing your baby with love and care, which is the most important thing. Every mom's journey is different, and you're doing great.
