I'm a 6 week old mum and I really hate breastfeeding. Everyone tells me it's a great bonding experience but it's painful and tiring for me, and I feel so tired and tied down. I dont feel like I can talk to anyone about it, and I feel like such a bad mom. Has anyone else been through this?? Please tell me I'm not alone :(

Of course u are not alone. I used to hate breastfeeding too. Even sometimes I lament about it. Haha. It's so painful and yet can't even go anywhere to get a breather. Seems like just breastfed and need to breastfeed again?!?! Trust me it gets better with time. Both baby and yourself are learning to get the hang of it. Baby learns to suckle better and more efficiently as he gets older hence shorter nursing sessions. They will also get less painful because of the shorter nursings, baby latches better and also your nipples get used to the frequent abrasion. If you feel like it's taking a toll on you perhaps you can pump out your milk and let someone else do the feeding while you get some sanity. Go for a walk or go window shopping it'll help a little. Or just ask your hubby to cuddle you for a little to make you feel better.
