The end of breastfeeding for us:-(

I also have just finished breast feeding
It was all going really well, Robbie was gaining good weight....then I was ill and couldn't feed him myself over xmas So I introduced a bottle and from then on he has refused my breast. I'm gutted, I was doing so well and had intended to breastfeed for months. I did 7 weeks!
Oh well at least Daddy can feed now

 

dont be disheartened, you gave them the best start in life and that is fantastic ryan is now on bottles most of the time, he has a breastfeed 1st thing in the morning but thats it.

 

aww dont be hard on urself

all 3 u ladies hav done really well

 

Oh Carina, I totally sympathise with you as I found that we share the same problems with breastfeeding. This week I've been trying to exclusively breastfeed Maya - it's going well although I'm under a lot of stress thinking that she isn't getting enough Every time she cries after a feed or every time i change her nappy and she hasn't done any poo, I'm thinking...see..she isn't getting enough. I hope we'll get there - I will weigh her again at the end of the week to see how we've been doing.

Don't worry and don't feel disheartened, you've done a great job with Daniel and you've given him the best despite all the problems you've had. All your efforts were well worth it, well done for going that far!

 

well 3 months is an achievement in itself...my HV told me most people give up in the first couple of weeks...

you have to do what is right for the two of you

give yourself a pat on the back for perservering not that it is enidng

 

Hey Carina

You're doing a brilliant job whichever way you feed your son, you're doing fantastically - just make sure you do what works for you both.

Good luck honey.
