Has anyone experienced ‘nursing aversion’ before?
I’ve struggled on and off with anger and skin crawling frustration while nursing a handful of times and just want to know how many mamas out there can relate.
For me as soon as my daughter de-latches the feeling goes away quick. But I notice it a lot more around times she’s fighting sleep…. when I’m tired… or when my boobs hurt and she won’t stop fiddling them.
It also irritates me when she rubs her teeth on my nipple.
It hurts me to see my daughter cry to nurse but sometimes I feel like it’s to much and I need a second to cool off before giving it back. (She will continuously cry until it’s given back making the frustration worse.)
I absolutely have loved every second of my journey and I know she isn’t ready to wean yet.
But I’m struggling with how I can manage myself better before turning psycho on my husband 😂

That sounds horrible! I haven't experienced it on that level but sometimes I do get a little sick of it and give her a bottle, especially during pms. And yeah the teeth definitely bother me when she won't open up her mouth enough.

Yes. Definitely a thing.
