Does anyone else feel this way?

I breastfed my LO until 5 1/2 weeks old but stopped because of his reflux and then had a whole lot of issues trying to find a formula to suit him (it's a hypoallergenic one the is partially hydrolised). Anyway i am thinking about when i have my next baby that i will feel bad if i breastfed it for longer than 6 weeks as my LO only got fed this long.

I just feel like i want to give them an even start at life and breastfeed them for the same amount of time, i also really enjoy formula feeding and can't even imagine how i will cope breastfeeding with a toddler (he will be around 2 when i have the next one). Does anyone else feel this way about breastfeeding?

Definitley, but i would try not too, you did your best
I managed to combi feed for 6 days, i stopped and have felt guilty lately, i know he is fine but i can't help but wished i'd of carried on.
I plan to BF my next one

I have the same feelings. I couldnt BF Omar due to my traumatic birth & he couldnt latch on. I also didnt have any milk as it all dried up due to the trauma. As I want to go for elective CS next time, I'm hoping for a better birth & bfing experience. I'm afraid to bond more with the new baby as I couldnt bond with Omar until he was 8 weeks old. I have mixed feeling about bfing my second.

for a long time after having bella, i wanted to be pregnant right away, because i wanted to prove i could breastfeed. now, if i ever do have another baby, i will try & breastfeed again (i feel, with the right help, & knowing what i know now, i might have a better chance) & a part of me wonders if i'll feel guilty, but i also know i have this amazing bond with bella that hasn't been affected by me bottle feeding her
