MummaB, I just want to offer some hugs and let you know that I can relate...
I quit breastfeeding when Samuel was only 2 weeks old. I could see it rapidly leading me down the path to PND because I had dreadfully low supply and he couldn't attach/suck properly. There was a great sense of relief when I made the decision to just fully formula feed...
But now, a couple of months down the track it saddens me that Sam just sees my breasts as a soft place to rest his head and something soft to squish his hands into... I sometimes think of relactating, but the arthritis medication I have to take now makes it impossible.
No advice, just lots of empathy and the knowledge that you are not alone, I guess.
BW
