Breastfeeding

At times, yes; I don't enjoy it. Initially, it was always full of pain and cries as I had C sect and my scars would not let me sit or lie down comfortably. Carrying baby while feeding was extremely painful but seeing her happy and content used to take away most of my pain, if not all. I still don't enjoy it sometimes specially when my body is not even 60-70% OK and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Not to forget the night feedings. Being honest, nobody likes to be disturbed while sleeping, that too multiple times. Other very important factor is, the restriction. It limits my scope to be away from my baby for long or even to go out (not comfortable feeding in public). However, all this is nothing compared to the contentment on her face when she's fed and happy :) I tried pumping but my baby rejects bottle. I wish my baby could take bottle at least once or twice a day. That would be very big relief for me.

I would say I hated it and now I'm more ambivalent. Neither hate it not love it but it all stems from the bf issues I'm still facing. Do what works for you and seek professional help if you would like to extend the bf journey but you're troubled by it.

I enjoy it part time for 5 months until I cannot take it anymore because of the Raging Hormones, it makes me so emotional. I was back to my own happy self once I stopped it and I encourage everyone to take care of their mental health first.

Thanks all for the sincere replies. I actually did not persevere with bf and having some regrets about it.
