If baby has a diagnosis from a doctor, some insurances will reimburse you. (End threadjack)</p> <p>MOST frustrating? That bf-ing is the only way to get her back to sleep at night. Naps aren't an issue,but for some reason nighttime sleep will only happen after bfing. Mama's tired, kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059270 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 01:59:41 +0000 Corduroy 2059270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never getting a break. Round the clock feeding or pumping.</p> <p>Really lopsided boobs [O o] since LO could only use one breast.</p> <p>Painful sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059090 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 21:16:50 +0000 AggieDaze 2059090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's been 6 months since I stopped breastfeeding my now 20 month old, and the frustrations are still fresh! </p> <p>1) being the only one who could feed him in the beginning 2) having to adjust my diet to minimize impact to him 3) when he'd pop on and off constantly but then get upset when I'd stop 4) the fact that he'd never feed under a breastfeeding cover. 5) but the hardest was wanting to give him exclusively breastmilk but not making enough for his daycare needs </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059043 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:32:07 +0000 mediagirl 2059043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything about breastfeeding and being a working mom.</p> <p>When she would pull back from my boob, but forget she was still latched on, so she would take my nipple with her. Um, ow? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059041 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:31:23 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2059041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Being the only one who could do feelings really got to me in the beginning. Even though I pumped for one bottle a day, the rest of the 12 feelings were all me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059037 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:26:39 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2059037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1. When S decides to pull off me without unlatching.</p> <p>2. When S decides to pull off, grin at me, and then latch and take 3 sucks, over and over again. Cute but also annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059034 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:25:02 +0000 lawbee11 2059034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only really frustrating part for me was how distracted LO would get at times, especially when I nursed in public. Luckily it was a phase and didn't last forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2059030 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:19:59 +0000 wonderstruck 2059030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There's a non-frustrating part of BFing??</p> <p>I'm not really kidding... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2058995 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:40:11 +0000 farawayyama 2058995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD loves to grab handfuls of my breast. Ouch.</p> <p>We also discovered she is intolerant to milk-based formula (we haven't tried others but are on a limited budget). I was considering doing the occastional formula because I hate pumping (like 2-3 times a week) for when I have meetings etc, but looks like pumping for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2058985 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:35:18 +0000 pui 2058985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thus far, only that I'm the only one who can feed her. Wish DH could do some of the night feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2058978 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:31:21 +0000 Espion 2058978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Low supply)</p> <p>H does this uncoordinated left shark thing where he tries to make up his own latch moves. I have to get him to chill out before I can get him on. Once he gets close, the kid is like a barracuda. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-frustrating-side-of-bfing#post-2058969 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 19:25:34 +0000 regberadaisy 2058969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 2 does this maneuver where she tries to push off of me with her hands while she's nursing. It's incredibly frustrating because then she has problems latching. Hello! Just stop trying to push off me! </p> <p>DD 1 used to looove pulling on my hair. Even now as a toddler she plays with her hair or mine when sleepy. I keep it all up now when nursing DD 2. ;) </p> <p>DD 1 also looved to pinch my nipple. Thankfully DD 2 is not as fascinated with that! </p> <p>What parts of breastfeeding do you find frustrating? </p>
