Your story is so, so common. (and so sad) What a wonderful job you did to overcome those initial problems. It is so easy to be influenced by friends and family, and end up doing something you just don't really want to do, and regret it later. You have expressed clearly the dangers of *just one bottle*. It is really important that women surround themselves with positive and encouraging people when they are breastfeeding. That is why a membership of the Australian Breastfeeding Association is so important and so worthwhile. You will have encouragement, support and the knowledge that what you are doing is normal. You will have the experiences of other mothers to draw on - others who have been through the same stage as you are going through.
You did a fabulous job with your little one, be proud of that. And I'm sure you will have another breastfeeding experience int he future
