Those last few feeds are so precious.
You have given her such a good start by breastfeeding for 9 months. She is growing up and moving on now. Try not to get down about it.

please dont feel a failure - you have done a great job breastfeeding for so long already. She is not suffering as she is happy to take the formula and you have given her so much goodness already.

Well I think you are amazing! Really I do.
I had a really good go at bf and managed for a couple of months and I was proud of that but also wished it had worked out for us.
Your lo has had such a great start in life you should be very, very proud of yourself! Hope I can give it a go again next time (if there is another time but that's another post!!) xx
She will have already had all the benefits from your milk, so you have given her a great start in life! x
