    I bought a tin of formula :(

    Me again.

    A couple of nights ago, I bought a tin of formula online. Looked around for a product that was both organic as it could be, and as ethically owned/produced as possible (aka not Nestlé). So, it's on its way over to me now. And I feel like **** about it. I don't want to give DD formula. The last few days I've been giving her one or two small cups of cows milk (read into goats milk more after links here, also I tried DD on it initially and she had a hellish night of belly pain), but my milk is all but gone for now. I want to give her EBM, but then there's all this stupid guilt associated with her having someone else's milk. And I know this is my own stuff, but milk from a stranger worries me. I know that's my own crap I need to get over. Anyway.

    I'm still sourcing EBM, I'd rather supplement with that any day. Not even sure if I will use the formula, I'm pretty loathe to. No point to this post, other than a bit of a vent. I'm slowly accepting that this is out of my control, and that I need to accept a new type of normal now. On a slight positive note, DD's food intake has increased a lot in the last few days, which is as reassuring as it can be.
