[quote=Anonymous]I would not breastfeed as much. And I supplemented from 3 weeks and then tapered down to just formula at 2 months, so I didn't do it forever. My child was a slow nurser (even with lactation consults it never got better) and burpy, so feeding took a long time. Formula = sleep, even if the baby doesn't sleep your spouse can trade off with you and give a bottle without you needing to take time to pump. Nothing wrong with breastfeeding, but not worth torturing oneself in an already extremely stressful situation. I also would have started pelvic floor PT earlier (I started at 4 mos PP), restarted intimacy later (around 10 weeks vs. 6 weeks), and instated a rule with DH that we DO NOT have conversations with each other after 8pm in the newborn phase. That was when all the stupid baby-blues fights happened. [/quote]
