AIBU to give up breast feeding

[thegreenlight]

DS2 is 4 weeks - struggled with breast feeding in the beginning but got into it and began to quite enjoy it. However, baby has reflux only when breastfed and it's heartbreaking on formula (has one bottle at night) he is a different baby. I KNOW reflux as DS1 was hospitalised with it. I promised myself I wouldn't be sad when I had to stop but I still am. He's had only formula today and has been happy and calm with periods of contented waking which I never got even if I fed him for a 4 hour stretch on the boob. Please tell me it's all ok, family and friends think it's a no brainer but this is a bigger deal to me.

OP I was in your exact same position with my DS 5 and a half years ago! I felt like a failure after having to stop as I didn't want to stop. He was very sicky and refluxy and he wouldn't latch properly either to the point where he would get frustrated and take ages to calm down. I also tried expressing and for some reason he wouldn't drink breast milk out of a bottle either.
I remember my DP going out to get some formula to try and he was like a completely different baby and he seemed a lot happier so he was on formula from then.
I had a happy baby but deep down I felt gutted that I couldn't breastfeed. The gutted feeling passed anyway and I have a happy healthy 5 year old DS

My point is, don't feel bad. You do what's best for your baby

Of course it's ok. I felt awful when i gave up after I'd been struggling with it for a while. Cried down the phone to my hv who thought I'd lost the plot, was googling relactation a couple of weeks later, and felt generally rubbish about if for a while. A few months down the line and I realised it wasn't actually as big a deal as I had made out. I'd done well to breastfeed for the first few weeks, and baby was happy if she was fed by any method. Hopefully it will be the same for you.

Do whatever works best for you both

Please don't beat yourself up - a month of bf is fabulous - but he's unwell with bf and it's a balance between being well or feeling you're doing the wrong thing because bf promoters can be too harsh
Enjoy your baby and ff is easy too - take a flask of hot boiled water and cold then mix to correct temp, failing that get some pre mixed formula and use those by kids drank them at room temp but take a flask of hot water to warm bottle and receptacle
