I was set on breastfeeding despite having breast reduction surgery as a teen— WorldBreastfeedingWeek
After a couple of weeks, my feeding ritual looked like this: 1) bottle feed pumped breast milk, 2) bottle feed half of formula, 3) breastfeed on both sides, 4) bottle feed remaining half of formula, 5) pump for 15 minutes. This rigmarole needed to happen eight times a day, took roughly forever to complete and involved my daughter screaming like a maniac every time I offered her my breast. For the first time in my adult life, I hated my boobs again.
, my breasts were becoming infected, my nipples ached, my baby was barely getting any breast milk, and yet I felt that I had to keep going. I believed that I had to breastfeed to be the “good mom” from those thank-you cards at Mount Sinai. It was as though becoming a mother had undone the work that my breast reduction had been crucial in spurring all of those years ago; my confidence was eroding away.
