Hi there,
Help i am beating myself up so badly at the moment, i have a daughter who is 3 that I breastfed til she was 4 months and my new daughter is 3 months old (13 weeks) and i have been giving her a bottle of formula before bed for about a week as she was sucking for an hour and a half before bed which meant no time for DD1.
So anyway now DD2 tends to pull on and off the boob to have a good nosy round I am also finding it difficult to breastfeed whilst out and about with DD1. I think both of us are ready to move over to bottles but i can't stop beating myself up and it has been going on for a week and driving my husband potty as to them its just black and white. I don't really know why I feel so bad about it, perhaps its because that phase will be over with but I am not even sure I will miss it. Plus I feel I am being selfish and not giving her the best.... any words of wisdom, comfort or understanding would help!! either that or i am going to give myself fifty more lashes ! :-)
