I planned to exclusively breastfeed DD for 6 months but unfortunately had to give her formula top-ups as she lost a lot of weight.
She is nearly 6 weeks and is still mix fed but although things haven't worked out exactly how I'd planned I realised today that I have breastfed her over 300 times and that that is an achievement in itself.
Maybe we will manage to get back to exclusive breastfeeding and maybe we won't but instead of feeling disappointed from now on I will know that I am doing my best.
That's all I wanted to say

I would just like to say that I am doing my best and don not feel like a breastfeeding failure
