well it's over...

[Samsgirl]

....my breastfeeding days...

I knew it was coming to an end because she just didn't seem interested anymore. She would myabe have a go for about 5 mins, then just get fed up This has been going on for ometime.

In the last couple of weeks, I have just been managing to get her to have 'breakfast' from me...but then the last few days with this heat...no chance!

She now hasn't fed off me for 2 days, tried again yesterday but nope...think she just thinks its too warm (likes her cold bottles now) and too much like hard work

i feel a bit sad but at the same time i feel very, very proud of myself that i have lasted 13 weeks. I honestly thought at the start 'well if i manage 4 weeks i will be happy'. Especally beating the odds at the start and actually managing to get any milk out at all. My supply has always been poor due to that though and no matter how many things i tried, I have never been able to ebf...but i am still proud that she has had something from me.

So....it's back on the combined pill until next time xx

Hun you have done amazingly well and fully deserve a pat on the back (or a little pressie from the OH ). You've done much better than I could manage and have given your LO the best start you possibly can xxxxxxxx

 

[Samsgirl]

thanks sweetie...

Please dont beat yourself up, I know you had a really bad trauma with the birth like me and I had to give up coz my milk was such a poor quality coz I was so ill!! You gave her the best start and that is what matters!! Not sure if they just told me this to make me feel better in hospital but apparently the immunity stops when they are 6 weeks in any case!!
You are being a fab mum by deciding when enough is enough and now formula is the best for your little one!!

You did great! 13 weeks is really a long time, especially after all you have been through. Xx

Hun you should be proud of yourself . You have gave her the best start . I
Never BF at all and I feel so guilty about it but I felt like I got no support from any of the MW I think they just assumed I would bottle feed bcos am so young am 24 but I look abt 19 lol . I said to be OH that when we have are next baby I will try breast feeding . Xxx

You have done so well and given your LO the best start you can. You should be so proud of yourself. It's sad when you realise you won't bf anymore, I went through the same feelings with josh. 13 weeks is brilliant, well done hun!xx

13 weeks is amazing, I call that an absolute success good on you!

 

[traci]

You've done amazingly! One more week than me so well done!!!! You should be very proud of yourself. I know how you feel about being sad that it's come to an end. I'm still gutted I couldn't carry on, but then I look at LO and think of the start she's had and how well she's doing x

 

[Mrs CW]

You've done brilliantly! I managed 8 weeks after struggling the majority of the time but still found it the hardest decision to make. You've given Hannah the best possible start x

 

[TORino]

Well done Hun, that's a great amount of time to breastfeed. I'll be chuffed if I can last that long.

 

[l_maclean]

Well done. You've given her a great start. Xxx

you did fab and it was her choice, i found alyssa prefers cold bottles to bf'ing in this weather but i just give her a small cool bottle and then bf the rest as she will take the boob once shes had a bit of a cool drink lol
