My Gorgeous boy is here :D

Big congratulations on ur baby boy!
Don't feel bad about not being able to breastfeed. At least you tried and you're looking after ur lo the best you can :)
Hope you're feeling better soon and you recover from your c-section quickly!
 
Thanks ladies :D
I feel so upset about having to give up breastfeeding, i really wanted to do it but i had too much milk and he couldnt latch on and i couldnt express. :( have cried a good few times about it over past few days and its hard to admit defeat and have to give him bottles when i so badly wanted to breastfeed him, still feel ive let him down :( but its prob for the best the probs i was having, the midwife even said theres no much you can do with him not latching due to too much milk and engorment and expressing wasnt doing much either :(

but i love him so much <3
 
Congratulations mrsyogibear! Your last sentence there is key 'but I love him so much'. That is What your LO needs from you whether you formula or breast feed so please don't be hard on yourself and enjoy this special time. You are giving your precious son all he needs xxx

Congratulations on baby.

Don't feel too bad about breast feeding I think we are headed in the same direction but I'm gonna speak to a lactation person first, Riven tends to scream when going on the boob so at the moment I am electric expressing and giving by syringe to him which obviously can't last, I am hoping that if we do have to go to formula I will still be able to combi feed him so he still gets my milk too...

Congratulations! And to echo what the others have said, dont feel bad about not being able to breastfeed. You tried and now you have to do what is best for your beautiful son. Dont let this ruin such a wonderful time for you, just enjoy all those precious cuddles!
 
Thanks ladies, i don't think the hormoans help lol after birth they go a bit haywire at times.
I know its the best desicion but the odd time i burst into tears about it, im sure in a couple of weeks i'll be over it i hope.
