Hello everybody!!
I am a first time mum and I think that as most first time mums would agree you want to give your child the best of everything. I decided to breast feed my now 5 month old son, but not without difficulties in the begining. After having got it down pat, but not without a nipple shield, I found this to be the most rewarding thing in the world. Nothing compares to that bonding time with your child.
Unfortunately, I am no longer able to breast feed. My son is now teething and going through a growing spurt and wants to feed every two hours. My breasts are no longer producing and as a result I feel as though I have failed as a mother. I have a large support network who is headed by my husband, who tell me that I should be greatful for the four months that I have been able to feed, but I still have that failed feeling.
If any one out there has been in the same situation please let me know how you delt with it, and any tips to over come that feeling!!!
