Bottle guilt :(

I've been exclusively nursing for the past five weeks but am considering pumping and giving a bottle on some occasions to thicken up what baby is eating ( he hax bad reflux so Dr suggested adding rice to a bottle) and so husband can help with feedings. Baby tends to "snack" rather than fill up so lately we're nursing every hour. It's exhausting and painful.

I know he will be fine and that him eating is what is most important but I have such guilt about giving him a bottle. Like we've failed at nursing together. :/ How have you ladies gotten past this?
