Am I the only one?
Anyone else cut off their families since giving birth? Since I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, I realise they don’t refer to her as her name. Only baby or it!
They aren’t supportive of my breastfeeding journey (when you going to give her a bottle) rather than celebrating I’ve done 7 months of pure breast!
My daughter is advanced and full of personality but none of them know it nor cared when I used to give weekly updates. Just come for their photo opp and leave. Tell me what I need to do rather than appreciate what I have done etc…
Just sad as I thought my siblings would love my daughter as much as their friends’ but because I’m not bringing her up their way - this is my “punishment,”

Firstly, I just want to tell you that I think you have done amazing.to have exclusively breastfed for 7 months. Breastfeeding is not easy! I am so sorry that you are not surroundes by support. It sounds very toxic and you have done the right thing to cut them off! Sounds like your daughter and you are better off without them x
You’re doing great! I’m sorry your family is being like that. I personally would have a conversation with all of them and tell them if this doesn’t change then I’m going no contact. It’s also SO DISRESPECTFUL that they don’t call baby girl by her name. Again I am so so sorry you’re dealing with this
