what annoys you when Breastfeeding?

**Pixie** · 07-02-2008 07:29

I tell you what is currently making me loose my cool and walk away. Eliza only feeds/comfort sucks to sleep twice a day now, but that other bloody hand twiddle the other nipple so much, I get a horrendous amount of braxton hicks, I think because she is twiddling so much it's releasing what ever hormone it is, that makes you have BH seriously it's ticking me off. I just had to walk away I was trying to get her to sleep, but I couldn't handle it any more I had a BH every minuted for 15 minutes.

UGH I can't wait for her to start self settling at night. I am ****ing over it.

OK all done, what's your complaints

The tanty that ensues when I'm not in a position or dress to breastfeed at that point in time.

I hate it when he comfort sucks, too. I have no idea why but it really feels like there is a parasite hanging off me.

I love breastfeeding and am so glad I am still doing it but it just feels a lot better when he's actually drinking!

The HIGH pitched squeals telling me to hurry up and get the boobie out. Patience my dear!!

mmmm i hate the whole gymnastics routine while im trying to feed.

And when he pulls off, looks at it and grabs it with his sharp nails! Grrr

I'm hating when he is over tired & wants to suck but screams cause he doesn't want milk

Another gymnast here, sometimes he stands up on my lap still attached and starts stepping from one leg to the other. Its the most ridiculous thing. I have to tell him to stop before he loses his balance because his gob doesn't let go, he just takes me with him if he falls off

The other thing that is annoying me at the moment is that I can't take diet pills. Sooo tempted to wean because of that but I really want to reach the 2 year milestone.

Yep I had that one! It never ceases to amaze me just what the breast/nipple can do when a child is doing gymnastics while feeding. It can stretch a long way that's for sure! Also she used to play with a mole under my left arm, but that never changed. She still does it now if she's feeling insecure or is overtired.

Exactly what you said, and it got SOOO much worse in early pregnancy, it was revolting. I had to be a hard *** and put an end to the nipple twiddling, it took a few tears and tantrums, but he doesn't even try it anymore.

Actually, breastfeeding while pregnant at all has done it for me.... we are down to only one feed first thing in the morning (because I am too lazy to get out of bed

) and that suits me pretty well now.
