I never managed to bf my dd1 (expressed for ages but never got her latched on). After many tears (mine) I decided to stop when she was 6 weeks old and bottle feed.
Now I'm pg with number 2 and I really really want to make a success of breastfeeding this time (have a doula to help me this time).
I just worry dd1 will somehow know she wasn't breastfed - well, she aked me the other day "What's that, Mummy?" when she saw my boob. I felt awful that she didn't know my boobs.
I feel so guilty I almost think it's not fair to bf number two as my darling dd wasn't. Does anyone have any experience of bf-feeding one child but not another?
