Desperately wanted to breastfeed eldest, but after 10 weeks of trauma, expressing, using little cups and huge amounts of weight loss we moved to formula. I've never fully got to the bottom of what went wrong, although he has since been diagnosed with dypraxia, which can impact on feeding. Second I too ended up mixed feeding, after it became clear that my milk just wasn't enough. I was very ill when he was born and I am sure that this had an effect, and I also wasn't eating properly as a result. We did breastfeed successfully for 8 months though, with a small top up bottle a day. Then youngest was totally breastfed from day one, never had any formula and was fed until she was 2 years old!! <br /><br />I'm a big fan of encouraging feeding, and I feel sure this blog will help lots of people. I shall follow it with interest!Emma Birrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137032846236892430noreply@blogger.com
