I tried unsuccessfully to BF my first...I cried and cried and the first 2 weeks were hell for me...tramatic emergency c/s plus no milk at all. I felt like I had failed my child and was more consumed about trying to BF him then love him

Second time round (DS2) I decided from point dot that I was not doing that to my baby and wanted to be able to bond with him straight away rather then be emotionaly twisted in myself...so he was exclusively FF...im glad he did cause he did not like me holding him and cried all the time.....later on it was discovered that he has autism and explained alot for me. So I was super glad that I didnt put the added pressure or trying to BF on top of a non touching baby IFYKWIM.

I have no regret's..... all my children have been nurished in different way's to the each other and they have all responded the same....they became healthy normal children who are happy and alert.

All in all though you have to do what you consider right for you, baby and family. Dont listen to negetive words from others...they arent the one's walking in your shoes every day
