breastfeeding
Is it weird that I don't actually want to breast feed? I just wanna give her my milk. I have nothing against women who breastfeed I just personally think I will feel weird about having her suck on my breasts. Also I use to smoke before I found out I was pregnant but stopped immediately right around 7 wks. Will my milk be affected by this? Will it still be good enough for her?
Ah thank u! I know breast milk is what's best for her I just don't know if I can actually breastfeed
Not at all!! I never wanted to breast feed my other 2 I was 18 & 26 & didt fancey it at all!!! I'm 31 now & this will be my last child so I'm gunna try & give it a go this time around :-) its def personal choice & dont let any midwives bully u about it!! Some come on a lil strong lol
No it's not weird that you feel that way. Breasts have become so over sexualized by society that it's pretty common for women to feel strange about it. If you are going to strictly pump it is important that you get a really good pump. I would find a group/forum of women that only pump because it get tricky. As far as the quality of your milk it will be just fine. I wouldn't worry at all about the fact that you smoked 30 weeks ago. There is a breastfeeding forum here on medhelp you should check out.
