Thank you so much for sharing your story and for standing up for yourself. My daughter is now 13 mths but at 5 weeks I stopped breastfeeding her for the same reasons you stopped with Owen. She was losing weight rapidly, had still not gained much over her birth weight which was low. It was to the point I dreaded her cry. I knew I was making the right decision to stop but the damage was already done - I had post partum depression, a result of hormones but also my sorrow over not being able to do what I had come to believe was the only right thing for my daughter. It was a dark dark time full of tears but fortunately, with medication and God, we made it through.

To hear that he's happy and content is great! At least you won't always be wishing and wondering, if you hadn't tried, right? This was so obviously the right choice for you and Owen both.

I tried for two months to nurse my first born and he just cried and cried and cried. It was horrible. I finally took the advice of the lac-nurse who said that breast feeding is NOT RIGHT for each baby/mama. I then tried again with my second and she did great. My last two never nursed just like the first. So out of 4 kids only 1 was breast feed. No one has the right to judge and if they do they must be feeling pretty down about themselves. So, ignore such hatred and move on to holding your beautiful boys! God bless, Heidi Wow is right. Andrea, my story is a lot like yours.

But you should be very proud of yourself for trying as long as you did. Ultimately, a happy, healthy baby, and a happy Mom, is what matters most! I applaud your efforts, and support your choices. I made it just fine being a formula-fed baby, and so did Caleb and Taite. I'm breastfeeding my firstborn right now (he's 5 months old), but it did not come without over EIGHT WEEKS of very, very tough days, me crying and screaming. I was thisclose to just doing formula so many times. It was not a pure joy like it was supposed to be. So, I definitely understand where you are coming from, and why you chose that ultimately, it was something you needed to let go.
