Hiya Cosette, I can so relate to your story and sympathize with you. With mine it's a similar story. She also only breastfed for a short time because it hurt so much. While you yourself as a mother think, grit your teeth and keep going, others give up, but sell it to you as heroic, because they had the worst pain in the world and it was no longer possible. With the bottle, of course, some things are easier. How is your relationship with your mother-in-law in general?
