I'm glad that's cleared up! I couldn't believe that Ross was really such a jerk, but not knowing you two personally I can't really juge his character. One crappy day sucks, but at least it was just the one, right?
I don't think it makes you a bad mother to go ahead and try a bottle when Oliver isn't nursing well. You're trying, and you're building up your supply so that he can have milk from a bottle instead of having to have formula. Sometimes breastfeeding just doesn't work, and with his tongue problem and your mastitis I think it's incredible that you're still at it. And like you said, when your supply is higher he will hopefully be able to just nurse and be happy.
As for Ollie, your supply should start to increase with the extra pumping. Have you been trying natural methods like fenugreek and oatmeal? I know in North America there're things like "Mother's Milk tea" that are supposed to help, but I don't know personally. Good luck with it! You've done so well with him, even with the troubles you've had :)
