Ali it is painful people saying things to you. I still get it all the time for other things than FF. & even though I "know" better, it can get to me on a hard day. When you are struggling with knowing that you are doing the right thing for your baby even more guilt is placed onto you. People don't need to judge but they feel compelled too. I don't understand why complete strangers feel like they have a right to tell you what you "should" be doing.

ETA: Laura, I did try to relactate with Matilda. It didn't happen after a week of hard hard work. It was devestating mentally & emotionally. With Jovie I fought tooth & nail against breast refusal & reflux and am still feeding her, but with Matilda it was impossible. I was ill advised & no one was around to help me, and then left to feel guilty like I hadn't done "enough" without support.
