Today, I decided to stop breastfeeding. It’s not because of the pain that mastitis brought me. But I think I’ve been pushing myself too hard to give Lissie the best that it is tearing me apart mentally and one thing led to another. I’ve been in a rather dark space and it’s time to get out of it. This would be a good place to start.

I did cry at the clinic as it felt really overwhelming. I also cried in the toilet of Bedok Mall. I just fear that the bond with Lissie will break because of it, but that’s probably just Crazy Mama June talking. One step at a time, June. One step at a time.
