i really do feel for you. I put DS on formula at 5weeks due to him having servere reflux and my extreme lack of support, mixed with my quite defeatest attitude whent hings get tough. i still remember his last bf and it took many many months to not get teary about it. I believe it was too easy for me to go to the chemist and buy a tin of formula for him, also all fo my family are ffers so it seems like the norm to me. i wish i had had more knowledge and support. Next bub i really hope to stick it out through the hard times and bf for as long as bub wants.

i think you did an absolutely amazing job to get through you difficulties with little support and bf for 7.5 months, well done, your bub has a hugely grat start to life!
