Firstly I want to congratulate you for making it that far. As someone at the early stages I can understand the struggles you have gone throug. Every feed you've given counts. However a happy mum means a happy baby so you have to do what's right for you. Don't be sad, be incredibly proud of yourself. Well done.  |

Aww hun it's totally understandable that you are feeling sad about stopping, but try to focus on the positives. You have done so terrific for feeding her for 5 months!! Any amount of breastmilk is terrific for her, and you have given her 5 whole months of it - that is such a great accomplishment. You did all you could, so don't feel guilty at all - she will continue to thrive on formula now and there's nothing wrong with that. Enjoy your daughter - the time goes by too fast!  |
