Hun, I know how hard you have tried I really have an urge to change the title of this thread - to me you have not given up at all. You have fought and battled and tried your hardest. You have been let down by the medical professionals who have given you bad advice, and by your lack of an IRL support network cheering you on and providing practical help. Please don't feel like you have given up - you have reached a decision that is the best one for you and your family at this point in time - there is a big difference hun I really hope you can find peace with your decision - you are doing, and have always done, what you needed to do. I hope you can be proud of yourself hun - you deserve to be
don't feel like you've given up - as MR says, you've done what you needed to do. BFing may be a mum & baby activity but it often requires the support of a whole lot of other people to make it happen. i think my journey was relatively easy (in hindsight!) but even then it wouldn't have happened without the support of my DP, BB, the ABA, my MCHN etc....it takes a lot of different factors to really make it work.
feel proud that you perservered without the necessary support & BF for as long as you did
PinkLilly good on you for persevering! I think you've done a great job and overcome a lot of issues to get this far. Try not to feel bad about stopping and make sure you have some lovely pics of you and bubs feeding.
well done. You gave it your best shot and you've achieved heaps to come this far.
