I was breastfed for almost 4 months before Mum switched me to Formula due to insufficient weight gain and that was the longest she'd gone as my brothers all refused earlier on then that for the same reasons after the bottle needed to be introduced. I was determined to BF DD but had similar problems, never had a full supply and meds/expressing/lactation consultants etc didn't enable me to ever get full supply so had to top-up with formula from 3 weeks since she hadn't even regained her birthweight. But I still breastfed her till 7 months when she refused altogether in favour of the bottle only.

I don't think Mum's not really breastfeeding us made a difference to my desire to, more the education and support that's around today - but it helped to have someone who'd experienced the same problems and feelings I was with regards to sucking as a dairy cow.
