I was unable to breast feed dd1 for a number of reasons and so found the whole breastfeeding saga with dd2 quite a struggle early on. SHe was not latching properly, bout of thrush, having formula top ups and so on
BUT
no 4 and a half months later she is almost solely breastfed ( perhaps one bottle of formula a week if dh is caring for her) and that is it. I am surprised how confident I feel about all of this and how I am reluctant to wean her early especially as I was sure I would bottle feed her from day one given my situation.
SOrry to ramble just feeling a little proud of myself and pleased how it is all working out and finally how easy it all is.... NOW - it took a while to get established but I did it.
