My first son just wouldn't breastfeed. We were told to try cup feeding him so he didn't get used to a bottle but eventually thought 'fuck it' and chucked a bottle of expressed milk down his throat and saw him properly relax for the first time since he's been born. my wife then spent the next few months hooked up to an industrial milking machine to try and keep up with him but he was a hungry little bugger and we needed to top up with a bit of formula. the guilt that the fucking NCT lay on you is ridiculous. He's rarely ill and i don't think it matters a jot so long as you feed your baby somehow. my second son was boob all the way and is much less robust.

argh, this really gets me ranty, breat feed if you can, if not, bottles really are fine too.
