If you are one of the many people that can not breastfeed, rest assured, you are not alone! In fact, there are tons of reasons out there why women do not breastfeed. From health problems to intense discomfort, not being able to breastfeeding is not the end of the world. The first thing that you have to do is stop beating yourself over it. Not being able to breastfeed does not diminish you as a mom. There is a lot more to being a “good” parent than just breastfeeding. You also need to note that it isn’t your fault at all. In fact, many doctors and midwifes have said that there are just some babies out there that will not breastfeed. So instead of struggling with this day after day, it's time to move on to something else. Also, never look back and say, “what if.” This is not going to help anything, and it's definitely not going to help you. Do not bring up questions like, “What if I would have tried for one more day?” or “Did I give up to soon?” These questions do not help anyone, and they are just going to bring you down more. Now, a lot of people want to be able to breastfeed their babies, because they know that it has a benefits for the babies that formula milk just does not give them. Does this mean that your baby is going to miss out on having these nutrients? Of course not. Formula milk is made to the highest standards and is safe for baby. In fact, you can look into getting donated breast milk. Many cities have milk banks so that’s an area to explore. Consider the benefits of bottle feeding. Dad can help feed baby which promotes bonding. You can leave him at home for a well needed break. Bottle fed babies sleep for longer periods as formula milk is heavier! Next, remember that you are still going to be able to bond with your baby. Some ladies feel that they will lose that great connection that they have with their child if they do not breastfeed. There are tons of great ways that you can keep that connection strong and keep strengthening it. For example, when feeding time comes, hold your baby close and make eye contact with him. Each time you bathe him you are bonding. Simply touching your baby and picking him up is bonding too as well as playing with and responding to cries. These are only some of the many ways to make that “connection” that you are looking for. No matter what, you have to remember that you are not alone, and you always have people that you can turn to for help.
