Breast feeding aversion while pregnant
So I have been developing breast feeding aversion with my 21 month old. I get super irritated when he latches, so most days he only gets one session when I want to quiet him so his dad can sleep for work on the week days. I am not generally a grumpy or irritable person, but breast feeding him irritates me super badly, and sometimes it disgusts me and makes my skin crawl. Sometimes I feel like I can still feel him latched minutes after hes unlatched, and its super irritating to me, I feel like I can feel his hot little teeth on my nipple and the physical feeling of irritation like climbs up my neck on the side he was latched to. I am worried this will impact breast feeding with the child I am pregnany with, I have never been successful at pumping, but the thought of breast feeding another child makes me grit my teeth. Formula isnt an option, so I was hoping maybe someone else has gone through similar and may have advice or guidance or maybe the disgust wont exist with a baby like it does with my toddler?

@Nicole Thank you! That makes me feel better. I am feeling a little guilty you know?
It’s a hard transition I totally understand but you are a super mom! When I weaned my older daughter off breast, I did a nice warm bottle of milk and just spent some cuddle time with her before I put her down and she did great.
@Nicole thank you.

I think your body may be telling you that you were supposed to be done with breast-feeding your current child. This happened with me while I was breast-feeding. My daughter and I was pregnant with my son. You’ve done an awesome job at breast-feeding and kudos to you. You have done something absolutely amazing for your little one. You were pregnant again with a young one you are tired, hormonal, give your body a break and by the time your new little blessing comes you will be good to go cause I was you got this!
