It's your choice: Some women have difficulty lactating. There's good reasons to breast-feed, but it won't make or break junior's health. Your physician and the lactation nurse can help, but if you can't do it, you can't do it. Don't feel guilty or that you've failed as a mother. Make the best of things.
