To be honest and I hope everyone knows I don’t want to sound like a snob. Motherhood has been great EXCEPT the breastfeeding part. I EBF and started pumping only for 3mo. I still have to pump in the middle of the night. I’m always tired because of this and never have the energy to take care of myself. All other aspects of motherhood are are great. My baby is 7mo and I still feel disgusting and when I look in the mirror I don’t like how of who I am. My eating habits, lack of exercise, lack of socialization. I am hoping to make it to 12mo of EBF. I truly believe that if I fed her formula it would be a lot easier on my mental health, body, and energy. I’ve seen it with my friends.
