    You sound like you're in a better place now - I'm really pleased to hear it. You have to do what's right for the two of you. I hope the ABs work quickly and you feel better physically really soon, and that you can start really enjoying newborn cuddles without the pain and stress. Best of luck!

    Amy big big (gentle) hugs. I too had to switch to formula for physical reasons when my DS was not even 2 weeks old. You have done what is right for you and you baby and I understand how hard that decision was. Try not to feel guilty and I hope you are feeling better very soon. Head back to hossy if your incision site is too bad

    Sorry your having such a hard time I had to give up bf for physical reasons in the end for my own mental health.

    I understand you need to make a decision and stick to it I did the same thing but still am upset now a year later and am hoping this time will be better.

    Ds was mix fed formula from birth and completely formula fed from day 4 and he is so healthy and happy ,it gave me the ability to take medications to help me I wouldn't be able to if I was bf and it gave me the freedom to have dh look after him when I was unwell which has made me happy and healthy which meant I was able to enjoy my baby much more and him me

    Sometimes breast is not always best and we just need support from others no matter what our decision .

    Wishing you all the best and really hope you feel better soon

    Just wanted to send you a giant hug Amy - I know this is really tough to go through (I got mastitis and also another infection and was on antibiotics for the first 6 weeks, it was a nightmare).

    You should do what is right for you and Quinn, do not feel guilty at all hun. Hoping the stitches are better today. Enjoy getting to know your little boy xxx
