To all you bottle feeding mums out there.
Did any of you start breast feeding and then go onto the bottle. OH and I are having a real quandry as my milk is very poor and not satisfying our son and with the support of my MW we are starting to introduce bottles once or twice a day to supplement.
I'm still expressing/breast feeding whenever I can and my right breast is working quite well, but the left - despite all the effort - is producing next to nothing.
Connor is now starting to get a real greedy guts and I just can't keep up. Bottle feeding is very convenient for us and he is still getting breast benefit throughout the day when I do have enough to give him.
I know all the advice about keeping going, but it's getting me down and I just wondered if anyone else had phased out the breast in favour of the bottle without suffering a guilt trip?
