A sad good bye.
Yes I caved, I tried my best but my DD and DH didn't like the miserable
person I was becoming. I was told to let him stay at the breast along as he wanted and that left me with 1 hour of nursing every 2 hours and I still had to pop I'm off because he would not stop! My DD began to loathe me, and my DH also felt neglected. not to mention I was lucky if I got in a shower and was beginning to neglect my self. I'm sure most of you know that self neglect is a good path to postpartum depression. It was to the point where I would just cry during the feedings and that would effect my letdown. My daughter pestering me would also hinder a letdown and my poor DS was beginning to suffer. On Monday the stress levels in my house were so high that I was constantly trying to feed DS because I was not letting down for most of the feeds of the day and judging by him I could tell the tension was dwindling my supply. I am disappointed in my self that I could not go any further but am also glad he atleast got a month of nursing. Since we have switched to Formula my DS is a completely different child! he's quiet when he is alert and content most of the time. Please, I know I failed so if you could please in any responses try to avoid rubbing it in my face. I just want to say thanks all for your support for 1 month! I needed it and appreciated it. K-K |

Your DS got 1 month of Breast milk and you know what that is better than
none. your baby gets alot out of breast milk for the 1st month of life and you did good by doing that. Who knows maybe in a day or 2 you might feel like going back to breastfeeding.

I dont know why I took them, My doc suggested them to me and said that they will help with the engorgement. "Rob and Laura" wrote in message e.rogers.com...

While I can empathise with the frustrations and pain (I had severe pain from vasospasms and compression injury) of the first 6 weeks, and the emotional distress (compounded for me by being totally alone to deal with it, and struggling to have ANYone recognise that I had PPD) I **cannot** sympathise with deciding to quit breast feeding/giving breast milk. (especially when the OP says "I don't know why I took [dry-up pills]") There was NO way my DS was not going to be breastfed, even on the nights when I fantasized that my sol'n was to give him to his father to raise (NOT!!!) since *he* would HAVE to give formula and **I Would Not**, even when at times wasn't sure if I could stay sane and keep going with breastfeeding. By about 6-8wks, it was much better/easier/less painful and we're still nursing at 15 mo. Dawn |

Oh no, what kind of dry up pills? They pulled some off of the market a long
time ago because it caused cancer. I would stop taking them immediately. To dry up, all you need to do is wear a tight fitting bra or wear cabbage leaves in your bra.

K-K I do not think you failed at all. Good for you! One month is a lot more than a lot of people do. Breastfeeding is only ONE element to parenting. And you gave your DS the best start you could, and need to consider ALL the members of your family, yourself and DD included. Pat yourself on the back, lady, because you deserve it. S |

if its off the market my doc would have no way of prescribing them. Its some
sort of very strong arthritis medication I think, and its quick and effective at drying nursing women up. And as for the pumping and feeding. There is no way I would have the time for that that's what got me to formula in the first place. It was taking up all of my time! I cant spend quality time with my daughter, husband, and take some time for my self. I would essentially be going back to where I was about 4 days ago. "Sue" wrote in message ...
