I think I'm over breastfeeding and I'm plagued by guilt. I'm just so very very tired. DH is away still (only another 4 weeks to go) and I don't know how I can cope with feeling like this until he gets back. I went to the chemist yesterday to buy some formula and ended up walking out because I started to cry. The lovely lady was explaining to me how wonderful this brand of formula was because it is just like breast milk and has everything my little one needs. Guilt kicked in, with what the hell am I doing buying this when I have ample BM.

In the past month I've moved interstate (WA to the east coast) and started back at work full-time with DH away. To top it off I think Bubs is teething. I'm being woken every couple of hours and he seems to want to use me as a dummy, but what else can you do when nothing else seems to work.

Will formula help him sleep through? What do I do? He is on three solids meals a day plus 4 breastfeeds during the day and one or two overnight.

If I replace his bedtime feed with formula am I doing wrong by him? I'm so scared that everything is going to topple over and desperately want to hold it together.
