I remember too, and I felt for you big time. A similar thing happened to me and I had to settle for 50% breastmilk, 50% formula, then an early fizzle/weaning.
Sorry it made you so sad again.
You're an awesome mama, supply issues completely aside. You know that, right? Right?
But you know what else I remember? My mom picking up your adorable Christmas card last week and asking me who those beautiful happy kids were. You've always been an awesome mom.
I remember. We talked on the phone around that time. I looked to see if I commented on that post but I guess I didn't...As you know I went through a very similar thing. Around 4 months of pump/supplementing with each of them; what a sucker punch.
I also wished that Formula, a life saving mechanism, didn't have such a bad rap.
And I wish that you had been able to be more gentle with yourself - because trying as hard as you did is NOT failing. At ALL! Some folks don't try at all. You did!

I want to know what happened next. I think I might read all your breastfeeding tagged entries.
How is it going with baby #2??
Lots of hugs your way.
