Hiya,
I know theres been plenty of subjects on this, but im feeling really guilty about bottlefeeding my 10day old dd.
We had an awful labour, and once she was born, she had to be fed within our hour for medical reasons. Due to the labour, i was in tremendous shock, so my dh fed her a bottle.
Since then, shes always been on a bottle. She eats her feed really well, and dh is obviously glad that he can help me.
I know i shouldnt let it get to me, but i do feel guilty about not trying breastfeeding etc, escpecially as before she was born, i was on here asking for advice about it all!
My DH is really good, and he knows im feeling awful about it all, and as he says, who cares how shes fed, as long as she is, especially as the way labour went, we could be talking about it in totally different ways.
My DS was bottle fed from a very young age, again because of medical reasons through the labour, and theres nothing wrong with him at all!!!
