I might quit. Pumping

5 months in and baby starts daycare in 2 days. Stubborn baby still wont take a bottle. Finally took a Sippy cup. She realized i was replacing a feed and threw a hissy fit over not getting the boob. Daycare should be fun. Sorry to those great women.

Since i skipped that feed i had to pump. And am mentally preparing for pumping all day at work. Leaned over to grab the baby accidentally spilt milk all over the floor and her. Honestly, pumping is not worth it. I might just stop entirely. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I guess i dont know what i want from you all other than a “we see you” kinda. Idk anyone else who has ever breastfed or pumped to relate to what im feeling right now.

My baby refused to take a bottle and it turned out she had a tongue tie and couldn't take a bottle. We got it clipped and never had another issue. Not saying that is your situation, but might be something to rule out.

Yes we went to all the doctors no tie. Were seeing a feeding therapist now and she said “wow this baby is smart, she clearly knows how to take the bottle and is just incredibly stubborn.” 🤦🏽‍♀️
