Why cant some women breastfeed?

[MrsFabuloso]

I too have been unable to exclusively bf my dd. Like you kerri27, I have a low supply and I suspect I also have no propper let down. DD was happy for about a week and then started screaming all day when we came home from hospital. I couldn't figure out why and was feeding her for what felt like 20 hours a day. I was a mess by the time we decided to go to the doctor and my poor dd was still screaming all day only to fall into exhausted sleep at night. Now that shes on the bottle she's a different baby and I am also happy. I am still bf her whatever I can, but it isn't much since she will drink nearly a whole bottle every time. She really likes to have a bf just for comfort I think. I am sad that I can't bf her as I went through alot to get my milk going, but it was just not to be. I was in no state mentally to continue at the time. I hope that I can feed future children as I do believe it is best.
I didn't answer the question, but I just wanted to say that we're not alone in not being able to feed our bubs. It is nice to know that you are successfully feeding your DD now though Kerri27. There is hope for me yet!!
