Bad mummy

Am I one if I want to be exclusively pumping? That immense pain of direct latching is slowly killing me. Saw the blisters today. Also now I have engorgement and my confinement nanny keeps feeding me milk boosters food. I’m stressed with my boobs as big as coconuts. Can I tell her to back off with the traditional old wives tales: cannot drink plain water, must be red dates tea.. Please enlighten me which old wives tales you broke. I’m painful up and down (first week pp) and I’m going nuts soon.

What’s wrong with exclusively pumping?? It’s still bm! Even if give formula also nothing wrong! Never a bad mum! Yeah tell your CL to back off. You’re the employer so you dictate the terms. And at most change a CL. On day one I already told my CL I will drink water on top of the red date tea that she makes. I also bathed and washed my hair w the herbal water even though she told me not to wash hair. I wore tshirt and shorts to sleep even though she said wear stockings or pants.
