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?

Since you have already decided to give formula milk, do not look back the past and regret. It is perfectly fine to give formula milk to baby. You can offer more nutritious food when baby started to take solids food. Formula fed baby are healthy and growing up fine too.
