Don't feel guilty.

Guilt is what you should feel if you did not provide your little one with any nourishment at all. You are providing food, love and care to your baby. All the things he needs to grow strong and healthy.

The fact is many women throughout history have been unable to breastfeed. For whatever reason. That's part of the reason why the use of wet nurses was commonplace before formula came along.

I say well done for putting all your efforts into trying breastfeeding and then, making a difficult choice to do what is best for you and your little one.

Please don't beat yourself up over this. The fact that you have agonised over this decision tells me your little boy is very lucky to have you as a mum.

Take care x

PS The exact same thing happened to me and let me tell you my DD is as healthy and happy as can be nine years later.
