Has anybody given up breastfeeding and started to use bottles? I have finally decided to bottle feed my daughter after weeks of thought and guilt, but i was really not enjoying breastfeeding anymore, it was getting me down. She has taken to it really well, im just left with one problem, quite a big one infact, my leaking breasts! They are really sore and will not stop leaking ! Any advice? I would be really grateful !

If your breasts are leaking why not catch the milk in breast shells and put it in your dd's bottle?

What a pity to waste all that lovely milk. You could express too. You are probably sore because there is a lot of milk there.

Even if you don't do what I've suggested, the soreness will go away soon, as will all the milk.
