I was disappointed that I had to supplement with formula, but Miss P was losing weight and I knew my supply couldn't keep up with her demand (trust me, I tried everything). Ultimately, I had to do what was right for my baby and that was to offer FF top ups. For Miss P, the bottle was always about business and the boob was about lovely squishy goodness. She has always preferred the breast. I figured if Miss P was happy and healthy, I should be happy too. The fact that I had to FF top up doesn't mean that I failed. Here we are, almost two years down the track, still BF. You may have to FF top your baby but you are a breast feeding mother. You are doing a magnificent job, be proud of what you have achieved instead of feeling bad about what you can't.
