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!
