Hun whatever decision you make you'll be doing it because you believe its best for you & him so there is no need to feel guilty. all he asks is that you love, care and feed him, how the latter happens he probably doesnt mind too much.
i know what you mean about how time consuming combining is. i combined breast and bottle when i went back to work part time and my supply did start to just get too slow for alex. people said to me why dont you express to keep you supply up but to be honest i didnt want to waste time i could spend with alex when i wasnt working, or my time with dh once lo was in bed, expressing when he would be more than happy with a bottle of formula (little bu**er never even noticed the difference
)
only you can decide if its right for you to carry on hun, if you feel you want to give it time then maybe combining is the answer. please dont let yourself get stressed and upset over this - if you feel that switching totally to formula is best then go for it and dont beat yourself up over it, breast feeding isnt the be all and end all babe.
