Thank you!

[RebeccaG]

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the wonderful breasfeeding ladies on here that have given me advice and support over the last 7 weeks. I have really struggled with breastfeeding right from the start with so many problems and you have all been really great - I don't think I would have got this far without you all! The advice of 'just one more feed' was amazing and has really kept me going.
After being told that I now have mastitis probably from my LO undiagnosed tongue tie not emptying my boob enough, I have decided I just can't do it anymore. I am in agony and still suffering from thrush although that seems to be better the last day or so. I will breastfeed him in the morning just so I don't feel so full but will gradually stop probably by when he is 8 weeks.
Felt so awful about it and the pressure that I had put on myself to breastfeed has made me feel very guilty and like I'm failing. Nothing has really gone to plan with him though - had a home birth all planned with a birth pool etc. Ended up going to hospital in ambulance and nearly having a c-sec. Thankfully ventouse! And had planned to exclusively breastfeed - something that I have really struggled with. Nothing has or is going to plan sadly.
I really did want to say that you are amazing for breastfeeding as long as you all have - it's so much harder that I thought it would ever be and you are all doing amazingly well! I will hopefully be better at breastfeeding with my next baby.
Thank you all so much again! Lots of love xxxxxxx

You have done amazingly to get as far as you have Please don't feel guilty or disheartened - it unfortunatley doesn't work out for everyone.

You tried - that is the main thing - and remember every feed - each single drop counts!

Every feed counts, you have given your baby the very best start in life. I'm sorry you are so sore. you've done great. Breastfeeding can be really hard, I struggled too.
Just enjoy your Lo, I hope you feel better soon.
The girls here are great, I prob would have given up. x

You have done really, really well and I am sure all of us ladies here are honoured to have been of help xx

You really have been amazing and I honestly would have given up in the first week if it hadn't been for your support. I am just getting over the feeling of failing at breastfeeding and feel happier now that I am just going to stop over the next week and concentrate on getting better and making sure my little baby is happy and healthy.
Thank you all once again!
