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 :(

I struggled with breastfeeding and I couldn't produce enough yield even though I ate all the milk boosting food. It was worse because my son also refused to latch on and each feeding sessions always ended us both in tears and frustrated. I soon got into post natal depression and was in a deep funk. It wasn't until when my sister stepped in and helped me out did I finally realized for the sake of both my son and myself, I had to stop breastfeeding. It wasn't worth it. I didn't want to feel moody and crappy because I couldn't breastfeed my son. And that was how we started on formula. Never once looked back, never once regretted.
