Failed breast feeder feels guilty

First, apologies for any mistakes, I am both an internet and mumsnet 'virgin'. My ds was born 17 days late by emergency section. I had breast feeding problems from the start and only appeared to produce a few drops. Everyone reassured me all would be fine. ds ended up in SCBU on a drip 7 days later with severe dehydration. He was put onto formula while I continued to both bfeed and express. ds then started vomiting and was readmitted. He was declared cow protein intolerant. I worked hard to relactate and started to breast feed again (still producing pitiful amounts) ds started vomiting again and was then declared breast milk intolerant. He is now on Neocate. Has anyone else had this problem? I feel very guilty at not being able to breast feed him as it was very important to me to do so.
