I found it excruciatingly painful to breastfeed my baby even though three lactation consultants told me I was doing everything right and my baby was latching on correctly. After a few weeks of crying more than my infant, I finally switched to formula. But now I'm consumed with guilt. Everywhere I look, even on formula packages, breastfeeding is touted as best. How can I make peace with my decision?

Don't feel guilty dear. I am a pro feeding baby. So as long whatever works is fine. There is no point you feed your baby only to be in pain and have a bad experience with breastfeeding. Breastfeeding you have to be positive and if this is not going to make you positive then don't do it. Breastfeeding is the best but a huge commitment and if really bad pain is added, it does not add to the list of likes to it. Just think your doing your best and the fact you can get up, make a bottle of milk and sit up and feed and put her back to bed is great already when the very idea of getting up from bed is tiring. Your doing great so don't worry
