Mum guilt!
So my baby is 2 weeks old today, and I decided to stop expressing because she has bad colic and she seemed worse after breastmilk. Has anyone else decided to opt out of breastfeeding and expressing after baby was born? I just can't shake the guilt feeling.

Aw, thank you. Yea, I'm sure it will pass soon. I'm only just getting over the baby blues, too. Nothing prepares you for the emotional roller coaster after giving birth 😅 xx
I stopped a few weeks ago and still feel really bad but baby is healthy and growing nicely and my mental health is much better now so I just try and think I’m a better mom for it xx

I had the same feeling .. especially when she would first start crying out of hungry and I couldn’t immediately comfort her and make things better. I felt like I had failed/guilty. That feeling went after a day or so. Just remember you are doing it for your baby to make them feel better and more comfortable if they’re having bad colic 💕xx
