Breastfeeding was such a struggle for us. We tried everything from private and public lactation consultants, our midwives, Guiness!, medication for lack of supply, Jack Newmans most amazing nipple ointment( a miracle for cracked nipples!), pumping. I was exhausted. We had to introduce the bottle (first with breastmilk) and then later formula. The baby seemed to feed better on the bottle and took to it more than the breast so we went on from there. I hope my next attempt goes much smoother and I should be more prepared!
