Arimeh, Please don't feel guilty. We all do the best we can with the knowledge we have at the time. I remember having a really bad patch with DD when she was between 1 and 2 months old and was refusing the breast (as i'd run out of milk) and she would just cry non-stop for hours. I remember I'd put her down and walk away and she'd stop crying and I felt bad about it, thinking how I was unable to comfort her. And twice, i've actually not HEARD her cry and felt bad about that too. But y'know, these things happen and even if they do, the majority of the time our babies needs ARE met and that's what counts, even if we've used CC occasionally. Isolated incidences of discomfort help kids develop resilience. So please don't feel bad! None of us are perfect and we're not bad mothers either.
