    I comp fed from 6 weeks to 7 months due to poor latch, tongue tie and breast refusal. By 7 months he was traumatised by the mere sight of my nipple (seriously!) and we didn't look back once I gave up trying to force my child to feed from me when he hated it so much. I was all for breast feeding and would have fed him for longer, but never knew a baby so young to refuse the breast.

    My daughter is 10months and bf with two formula feeds a week when I go to zumba

    I didnt have enough milk. I tried fenugreek, lactation cookies, motillium, expressing, repeatedly saw an LC. But my DD was very small and wasn't gaining enough weight and I had to give her formula. Once she got a taste for it she refused the breast and my milk has dried up completely. It is heartbreaking. After having to use IVF to get pregnant then an emergency CS due to fetal distress I really wanted to BF. Having another thing taken out of my hands is devastating.
