I was gutted that I couldn’t breast feed! I think that social media and advertising make women feel bad.

My son thrived on aptamil! We knew he had all the nutrients he needed, family could help bottle feed and he grew up big and strong!

Here’s to the people who can’t breast feed, not because they don’t want to, but because they are following medical advice and choose not to!

Hi Mirrorball .... I totally agree ... I too was unable to breastfeed my youngest as I was taking meds straight after delivery to prevent a relapse...looking after a new baby is hard enough as it is, new mums do not need to be made to feel guilty or ‘less than’ if they can’t breast feed, babies will thrive no matter how they are fed, providing they are loved and cared for 👶🏻xx
