Hi mummies, FTM here. Anybody give up breastfeeding or pumping less than a week and decide to go full FM?

My bf journey always ended before my maternity leave ends. For my first, I tried all means and ways to get my supply up. Never felt more like a failure. Lasted about 2 months. Stressed mummy, hungry baby. For my 2nd, I told myself to exercise self-compassion - if have, good. if don't have, then accept it. Hubby was supportive and have nothing against FM. Lasted 1 month. For this coming 3rd one, Im gonna try full on FM before my milk comes in (will try to get the colostrum during hospital stay) to save my sanity because I have 2 other kids who needs mummy. My 2 kids are healthy and hit all the milestones. Its gonna be ok if you don't bf. I have mad respect for mummies who breastfeed but its because they can. You wont love your child any less and youre not a lesser mom. You got this! 😘
