She was always going to breastfeed, this is perfect megan we are talking about where everything always works out for her haha.
I’m probs just a bit bitter because breastfeeding was really hard for me and I couldn’t do it. I feel like insatgrammers always make it look so easy
my youngest are 6 and 4 and still don’tIt is hard. I found it difficult and 15months in, it does still have its challenges. But at least she’s not one of those smug bastards yet who claimed their baby sleeps through the night from week 2. Those kind of people always made me feel like shit. My little one still doesn’t sleep through the night
Maybe because it's bloody hard work, and routinely discouraged in British society, so they're trying to encourage other mums to try it too?Why do instagrammers need to subtly show off about the fact they breastfed. Ok Megan we all can see that you are clearly breastfeeding haha. She could have easily showed the dogs at another point.
100% agree with thisIn my experience it is the opposite of discouraged and actually mums made to feel guilty not being able to or having/wanting to use formula. Can only speak from my experience how I and other people I’m close to have been made to feel
I bet she’s been desperate to show off she is and no doubt it’s been a dreamy experience which in reality is the total opposite and so nerve wracking getting that milk supply going, worrying if baby is getting enough etc....She was always going to breastfeed, this is perfect megan we are talking about where everything always works out for her haha.

Absolutely this. I was made to feel ‘unnatural’ for not breastfeeding but my baby was fed and well so they can fuck right offIn my experience it is the opposite of discouraged and actually mums made to feel guilty not being able to or having/wanting to use formula.

It doesn't make you any less of a mother if you want to switch to formula, you need to keep yourself healthy mentally in order for your baby to be happy too and if this is getting you down so much, just make the switch!Thanks guys. Yeah I am that new mum (6 weeks PP) and feel so feel shit not being able to breastfeed so I defo am probably hormonal but it is just classic her so why am I surprised. I just feel like I’m not good enough, or not strong enough to deal with the pain, or patient enough to persevere with itI maybe should take some time off the internet x
Thank you so much hun, it was so nice to read your story and to know I’m not alone... sorry to everyone for changing the topic of this discussion haha! But I think for sure that formula feeding is defo much more looked down in than breastfeeding these days. Like I would worry if I took out formula people would be judging me for using it. People shouldn’t judge either way as it’s what is best for mum and baby.It doesn't make you any less of a mother if you want to switch to formula, you need to keep yourself healthy mentally in order for your baby to be happy too and if this is getting you down so much, just make the switch!
The fact is you've tried it and that's the important thing.
I breastfed my baby but she wasn't getting enough and I didn't even know (covid baby, ftm and had not one health visitor!!!) - I still struggle to forgive myself for that. She ended up dehydrated. I started feeding her formula and it changed everything for the better and tbh when I pop out more babies I will not feel ashamed to give them formula As I'm pretty scarred from that!
I'm sick of mums telling other mums how to be a fucking mum, haha!!! We are all so different, you know what's best for your baby and aslong as they are happy and healthy it doesn't matter what your bloody routine is.
I hope you feel better soon, if you ever need to rant my inbox is always open. X
You ARE good enough don’t ever think you’re not. As long as your baby is fed that’s the main thing. I’m sick of the breastapo making women feel shit for not breastfeeding, it’s so damaging and at a really sensitive time in your life. Please, please do what’s best for you and your baby and to hell with what anyone else thinks xThanks guys.

Breastfeeding is brutal and the classes you take do not prepare you at all for it! I was lucky I have a lot of mum friends and a sister that breastfed because without their knowledge I would have given up because it was the opposite of how I was told it would go. In my opinion... there is not enough support and resources for breastfeeding mothers in the most vital part (first 6 weeks) and far more encourage to stop than to continue. It makes women feel like failures!She was always going to breastfeed, this is perfect megan we are talking about where everything always works out for her haha.

I think she tried to do that with her stories saying she fits into one pair of jeans but the rest are still too tight. I think that was meant to be her ‘relatable’ moment.I do agree she isn't showing off at all, it's what works for her and Goldie. I also completely understand what a kick in the face it is for all the women who have had their issues with breastfeeding because everything megan posts about goes to plan and then some. Her life as she portrays it is PERFECT and nothing ever goes wrong and it's hard for people to see that especially at a time like this when most people aren't having such a dreamy time.
It would be amazing for Megan to show something about her and her life that ISN'T perfect so she can actually show people she is normal and doesn't live in a dream world
Goldie probably slipped out like a greased salmon in a stream!Tbh I’m holding out for an influencer who acknowledges how bloody painful weeing can be after birthI’m 2 weeks PP and only had grazing but honestly the PAIN of going to the toilet (I’ve been told grazing can be a lot worse than stitches for this though!)
