I've had to introduce supplementary feeds for my dd because her weight gain has been so poor and this is despite lots of help and advice from mw, hv and bf counsellor. I desperately wanted to be able to breast feed and have to say that I feel thoroughly ashamed to be giving her a bottle. This is to the point that I don't go out anymore and avoid inviting people to the house in case I have to feed her and they will find out. I feel so judged and a bad mother. Am I the only mother to feel like this?
