That's really sad, what you and your wife especially, had gone through. She must really be devastated not to be able to breastfeed your child. But hey, I think you made the right choice as it turned out better for your baby and wife- healthwise, psycologically and in many other aspects. Even the financial part of the formula being expensive. See, you found steemit!😉
What works for others does not mean it will work for everyone. You chose an option that would be beneficial to your family, so the h#ck to what others say! You are great parents in your own way.
Cheers!
Sometimes I wonder what kind of damage would have been done by continuing breastfeeding also. I can only assume that there is the potential to create some unhealthy psychological complexes with food when whenever you eat you feel pain. It doesn't matter now, she is the smartest kid I know.
Not only to her but to your wife too, when she's thin to the bones already... and true it does not matter now. Whay's important is what lies ahead. So many baby milestones to look forward to! Enjoy! 😉
