    Prama hun, after all thats said and done I think everyone can agree that you've put your all into this and that alone makes you an absolute hero. I think all the emphasis on BFing is meant as encouragement to mothers who wont even give it a go and many people let BF vs FF get out of hand. What matters is getting bubs fed so he grows and keeping you sane so the two of you can start building a relationship. I think you need to take some time out to clear your head, keeping your options open for the time being, get some well deserved sleep, maybe go and spend some quality time with DH for an hour even and forget about all of this for a bit and focus on you. Recharge yourself hun, and then make a decision about what you want to do. Remember the rest of us in bellybuddies love you and support you whatever you decide to do.
    It'll be much easier to make a decision on what you want to do after you've had some rest and then to have the strength to weigh up the possibilities. Just remember that you're amazing for making it this far, and for caring enough that even now after all thats happened you haven't given up and had a complete meltdown.
    We love you.



    On a side note to everyone else, you've all said your bit and i think we need to stop the debate over BF vs FF this isn't the place. I've been ok with all the issues i had BFing until now and now i feel bad after all the debate. If I feel bad after getting over it 2 years ago imagine how poor Prama feels.
