For me, i chose infant-led breastfeeding and then my body decided that it was a no-go and i had to use formula, at first as well and then instead of BFing. It'd be lovely if reality only reflected our expectations or desires but sadly, for me at least, it didn't.

Given that i had to use formula, i find it useful to be aware of these things just in case. Never say never, sort of thing. I have to say that given what i now know from BB though i probably couldn't have saved my milk supply (metabolic problems) there are a lot more things i'd have tried before i gave up if i'd known about them. I actually think the main reason breastfeeding fails, after lack of education, is lack of HELP. If i'd had someone who would cook, clean, help out a bit and let me take my baby to bed and rest and get my supply up i might have been able to go on mixing and matching instead of having to go fully FF.

LOL Caro - i use caps for emphasis too - i used to use italics but my left ctrl button got torn off by smee.... I can never get into the habit of using the one on the right.
