[quote=Anonymous]As someone who EP'd for 7 months bc I felt too much guilt to stop, I would never ever do it again. If I ever have another kid I will go right to formula. Being attached to a machine for hours each day took away from time I could be connecting with my baby, or resting my very tired body and mind. It's not an issue that your baby prefers breast milk, she'll adjust to formula. Formula these days is amazing (really, truly, it's great). Something else I wish I had known at the time when I was grappling with the guilt - severe guilt is a symptom of anxiety. I realized I didn't want to spend my whole motherhood experience with crippling guilt. I eventually went on meds and started therapy and feel so much better. Motherhood is tough, but you don't need to go through the next 18+ years with severe guilt over decisions you make for your good.[/quote]
