Support Needed / Guilt Related 🧸 Regret?

Did you feel regret about not breastfeeding after a while?

At first I definitely felt guilty but I’m almost 2 months in and now I just feel regret that I didn’t try harder instead. I only tried to breastfeed once in the hospital but I already knew in my heart that I’d be a much happier mom not breastfeeding.

But still why didn’t I keep going?? 🙃

I combo fed, formula in the night and BF in the day. So I could sleep. For a year. Then exclusive formula with other foods. That was enough for me. I was getting bitten nearly every day and it was time to end.
