This is KSena
Usually a friendly sort. Be nice to me, and I am nice to you. Here I ramble on about me, life, work and fandoms. I am a fan of Robin of Sherwood, Xena: Warrior Princess, Buffy: the Vampire Slayer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tokio Hotel and Sons of Anarchy. I don't apologize for anything I write here. This is my mind. And you entered it. Welcome.

A lot of new mothers have the same difficulty breastfeeding so don't feel like you are the only one or that you're a failure because circumstances beyond your control happened. You did everything humanly possible to set yourself up to breastfeed, sometimes our bodies tells us something we really don't want to hear, but it's not your fault so try not to beat yourself up.
Alexandra is a happy, healthy baby with an awesome family to give her everything she needs in life ... and yes that may be formula rather than breast milk. Have a wonderful time experiencing all the firsts with your daughter and remember hormones suck X 1 million and at least 1 million new mom's are asking their boobs what the heck is wrong with them at this very moment.
P.S. My cousin couldn't breastfeed her first child due to similar circumstances as yours and her reaction was the same. When her second child was born she breastfed without a hitch.
Sending lots of hugs to you both. No more beating up mom over something she can't control k? You're a perfectly normal new mommy and Alexandra loves you.
