Sweets Hugs. I nearly set myself crazy over feeling guilty for not feeding DD1 past 6wks. We had a tough start and DD was not putting on weight and I was not getting any rest. So tired, emtional and exhausted I gave her formula. The first bottle hurt me the most and I cried whilst DH feed her. Although DD thrived and loved her bottle I still had that horrible feeling of guilt because I knew that breast milkis the very best. As months went past I still felt guilty but my guilt was because I really didn't seek enough help or support.

Then I had DD2 and we had a better start to bfing and everything was going great until around 15wks where DD refused to feed from me (we were comp feeding). I sort support from the lovely ladies here at BB but I still did not seek extra support and yet again my baby ended up on formula. Although I was less guilty feeling this time and I loved the short bfing relationship I had with DD2.

This time around I have re evaluated my own personality (this I believe helped contribute to my past failings). I have subscribed to the ABA and just read their book, which I believe every new mum should have a copy of and I will be employing a LC. Of course I'll have my BB friends as well.

If you want to relactate employ the very best ppl to hlep you. Goodluck.
