Well done you for getting to 10 weeks.

I feed adhoc now cause im at work and just dont have the time in the day to express anymore

I think its normal to compare yourself to other moms, everyone seems to do things differently and when you notice that they are it makes you wonder why and should i be doing like that instead of like this......

Just remeber, you do whats right for your LO and you are her mom, shes very lucky to have you as her mom, just remeber!!!

HTH

i know how you feel im still breastfeeding only too and my bub gets really bad wind and she squirms a lot when shes feeding because of the pain in her tummy and it makes me feel a bit embarrassed in public because she sometimes does little grunts etc as well lol and i look at other mums feeding there bubs easily and confidently and i think god i must suck! lol but like the other lady said they dont have my baby and i dont have theirs so oh well lol just try to stay positive i know its really hard to at times but thats all we can really do. I hope you get more confidence soon just dont give up xxx

I think its normal to compare yourself to other mums but you have to remember that other mums dont have your child and you dont have theirs just caus they look like they have it all together doesnt mean that they do they may even be having a harder time than you and you can bet that they think the same thing when they see you.

Well done for making it to 10wks

Hi Hun, didn't want to read and run... you must be doing well bf'ing especially if your still doing it 10 weeks on! I gave up after one week.. i really tried but it was so hard especially with having masive boobs... i would say a huge well done.

Don't ever think you're inadequate as a mother believe me you are doing the best you can for your little baby. Nevermind what other mums are doing you have to go with the flow as long as your lo is happy you should be too. If you're feeling really down it maybe worth talking to your hv. sorry if i'm not much help xmichelle xx

Hi,

Does anyone look at other Mum's and think they're much better than you and that you're inadequate?  I have been going to a bf support group and the Mum's there all seem to with it and confident about breastfeeding and 10 weeks on I still don't.  Sometimes I think my baby would be better if he had another Mum and not me.  Is this normal?  Feel so crap tonight and I don't know why.
