[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would give it more time, too.  Not because your husband wants you to but because it’s so fricking easy after a couple more weeks.  Your milk will stabilize and your nipples will completely stop hurting.  The baby will also start to get more efficient and be faster so nursing sessions are cut in half (or more).

But it’s always up to you.  I’m just saying that not liking it now is not necessarily how you’ll feel two weeks from now.  [/quote]

OP here. I do feel bad because I have had friends who wanted to breastfeed and had a hard time. I don’t want to breastfeed and things have been easy. He took to the breast right away. There was pain but it’s mostly gone now. We have not had latch issues or weight issues. The only issue is I was worried my milk wouldn’t come in and started feeding 1 bottle of formula at 3 days. It came in that day. I have a good supply. He does eat every two hours during the day for 20-30 minutes each but that would be the same if we were formula feeding. The issue isn’t breastfeeding. It’s the fact I have leaking nipples and don’t like the feeling of having milk in my breasts. It’s hard to sleep 4-6 hours without needing to breastfeed and pump and I don’t want to have to wake up during the night when he starts sleeping longer. [/quote]
