Guilty n sad for not breastfeeding

i was depressed when i bf baby. i wanted to stop but yet felt guilty. i felt baby could sense my unhappiness and felt even more guilty. now i feel that i was foolish back then. should stop earlier and not made myself so upset. do not need to worry about bonding. the bond has been there since baby was in the womb for 9 months. even though i went back to work and baby is taken care of by helper, my baby is super happy to see me when i knock off work. as he grows bigger, the bond is stronger

You gave birth to the child & that makes you a mother. Don’t stress, i am so thankful there’s formula around. My son looks like watermelon now. I find that even i dont give him BM it doesnt makes me less of a mother. I dont care what people say & i believe i will do anything within my means. you can do it to! stay strong mummy!

dont worry about it, there are mums out there thanking the invention of formula milk as it takes away alot of stress from mummies trying to increase milk and its damn tiring to pump milk every time. dont have to stress over this, babies are also very healthy with formula milk. bonding can be done via activities with your little one

No breastfeeding doesn't make you a bad or lesser mother. Some mothers do not have enough milk while some may not be in a position to skip work. Let go of your guilt and enjoy the time you get to spend with your baby 😊

Here's for you. Hang in there! Everything is ok. I fed my children with fm and they still grew up well & healthy. Your baby needs more of your love and care and does not even care if he/she is being fed with bm or fm.

it's ok not bf. don't stress yourself. if you really wish to bf you can try get some help. no matter whether you bf or not all mummies are the best !

Hi, I can understand the guilt you have as a mum but you are doing your best so don’t take this on your heart

there's so many other ways on giving your baby the best. breastfeeding need not be the only thing. cheer up

I didn't breastfeed from birth cos I chose not to. Formula from the start, nothing to be depress about

i feel you. but as long as baby get enuf nutrient from other source, all is good ♥️
