Breastfeeding Was Detrimental To My Mental Health, And I Wish I’d Stopped Sooner
[[link removed]]
Some parents have a wonderful experience with breastfeeding — and then there’s
the rest of us. In Becky Viera’s case, however, it was downright harmful. Not
only did she have a painful letdown and a constantly hungry baby, she was
dealing with what she later realized was postpartum depression.
And yet, she writes: “I should have stopped. I wanted to stop. But not only did
nobody ever say it could be an option, I was outright told to continue. All I
heard was how good it was for the baby. But no one ever mentioned how it
affected me.” Consider this your regular reminder that fed is best.
TTYL!

“The truth is, as a SAHM, I often feel guilty asking for help,” Samm D. admits
today. “I don’t feel worthy, since I am not working outside the home full time,
and a voice in the back of my head often whispers (loudly) ‘you and your husband
made the decision to have all these kids, so the responsibilities are all
yours!’” But she recently got a wake-up call that she doesn’t have to do it all
herself. Give it a read for a reminder.
