Tonya I was not a breast feed child either, and my son I was only able to feed for about 2mths, the plunket nurse here advised me to introduce supplements and then fully put him on the bottle,as he was one hungry baby.

However Ten years later I successfully breastfeed my daughter for 16 mths, I never imagined I would beable to do it for so long.

It sure as heck can be very painful, in the beginning as mine was with both, but it came right and then it was fine.

It is wonderful if you are able to Breastfeed, but not everyone can, and no-one has the right to tell you what to do, I think I came through pretty ok as did many other babies not breastfeed.

You do what you are comfortable with,and don't listen to those people who think they know best.

P.S They say it helps with protection against Breast Cancer, I am hoping that is true, and I know you have it in your family as well, so that is one plus I guess.
