  I have regularly had to say to my grandma over the years “Ok, you were right Grandma, I should have listened to you.” I guess hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Wow so strong an answer and great advice from gran. I nearly died from milk fever on my sixth child. Bottle fed the first two then, breast fed the rest.

What very wise advice from your nan.

I totally agree! Some nurses make you feel like you’re disadvantaging your child if you don’t breastfeed. Not every mother can and babies that are bottle fed grow up and thrive too.

i felt so depressed breast feeding. My boobs always hurt my son wouldnt latch on properly and he wasnt getting enough. horrible experience for the both of us. My daughter was different she was happy to feed until she was one. every baby is different dont breast feed if you are feeling depressed about it or your baby is not getting enough milk.

you have to do whats best for both of you
