Breastfeeding dilemma

When my baby was 2 mths old my breastmilk was drying and only manage to pump for 3 to 4 feedings a day. It was due to stress and insufficient sleep and rest causing my milk supply to drop. My girl has been formula fed ever since and now she is at 4mths + I am feeling depressed and guilty still for not able to provide her breastmilk. Any of mummies here facing same issue? Can anyone please share if your children grow up well even with formula milk? My first baby hence the anxiety.

my now 26mo daughter was mostly formula fed since I had breast abscess after confinement and supply dropped (didn't start well also and she wasn't latching well so I pumped). She wasnt as chubby as my baby son now who is taking mixed feeds, but shes such a gem now, active and sweet. the worry and guilt is there.. just give what u can and you've done your best!! take the extra time to play with your baby :)
