我想應該是文化差異的不同吧! 妳老公會希望餵母奶, 因為外國人盛行這麼做, 不過妳的狀況不同, 可以再跟妳老公溝通一下, 妳也不想餵奶粉, 但這是不得已的辦法, 重點是妳要放寬心, 我覺得妳已經有產後憂鬱症的傾向了, 別想太多哦!!

Hi, I’ve been visiting your blog since this summer and thought about writing to you for a long time. I’m also a Taiwanese who married a forigner. My husband is Estonian. We met while we were both PhD students in the US. I gave birth to a baby boy last April. Shortly after my son’s 1st birthday, my husband took him to Estonia for the summer. That’s when I accidentally ran across your blog as I was waiting for my son to show up in the webcam. First, I want to congratulate on your lovely baby. I also want to share my experience with you, although I know every baby is different. My husband and I were in the US when our baby was born. We took care of our baby by ourself since we didn’t have any other family members around. We were nervous at begining, but we knew we could (and we had to) make it. Our baby also cried a lot for the first 6 months. I was almost without sleep for the first 3 months. Fortunately, I got help from the lactation consultant in the hospital. We even went back couple times just to make sure that I was holding baby correctly and that baby latch on correctly. For the first month, I was worried that baby didn’t get enough milk (because I didn’t produce enough) since he spent almost entire day feeding. Luckyly, he gained weight normally. I bought a breast pump before returning to work. I was frustrated that I could only get very little milk out at begining. So I called the lactation consultant for help. Eventaully I was able to keep up with my son’s appetite. I thought I’d keep breast feeding at least for the first year. However, before his 5-month birthday, I suffered strong pain and discovered a lump in my breast. Doctor suggested possible breast cancer and recommand surgery. I had to stop milk production completely and abruptly. That’s the most painful experience in my life both physically and mentally. Fortunately, the lump turned out to be benign. But I couldn’t go back for breast feeding, so we had to use formula. Although we all know breast milk is the best for babies, sometimes we just have to compromise. The most important thing is to relax and believe in yourself. Your baby can sense your emotion very well. So if you’re relaxed, he’ll calm down better. Your baby will be just fine whether with breast milk or formula as long as you gave him lots of care and love. Your husband should be supportive on whatever decision you have to make. If you still want to give breast feeding another try, I’d recommand that you seek for professional help. Finally, relax and enjoy the wonderful (despite the hard work) of motherhood. Good luck.
