I have 3 dd (6, 2 and baby is 4.5 months)
I breast fed eldest for a matter of a few weeks and then on advice of HV topped up with formula which promptly became completely formula fed.
Dd2 I fed exclusively for 6 months and then continued to feed her til she was nearly 2 18 months. (I didn't listen to HV bullshit this time)
Dd3 was hard going to establish feeding - it was hard going & I soon introduced (around 5 weeks) a bedtime bottle of formula because I was feeling totally consumed.
I have PNd and I have held off starting anti D as been worried what effect it would have through my breast milk as not one doc / health visitor / mental health team person would give me a straigh answer whether it would harm dd3 long term.
Before Christmas I was very poorly and dd ended up being given a few bottles during the day whilst I was ill. She then refused to feed from me & so was formula fed for 2/3 days with me still trying to latch her on to me but her being very distressed. I think my antibiotics may have given her a sore tummy.
Any way, I'm busy & stressed, it's been Christmas etc and now I'm feeding dd once or twice a day (mainly if she wakes during the night)
I feel bad. And guilty. Selfish.
