I also know of nursing pain and it can really take a huge toll on you and your family. You've made the best decision for you and Joe and thats all that matters! love you!!starlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16893888096236905099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27247506.post-6668693915614623192008-03-15T22:33:00.000-07:002008-03-15T22:33:00.000-07:00Awwww Beener! You made the best possible decision ...Awwww Beener! You made the best possible decision and in the long run, it really won't matter! You need to do what is best for you and for Joe and you are and that is awsome! And who cares what people say! Breastfeeding for me was very stressful. I didn't have alot of milk and I was producing skim too. So it makes for a very stressed out Mom when you aren't sure if your baby is getting enough. And I know how you feel about the fussy baby...Liv was way fussier than Tristan and it was a big adjustment! I came to the realization one day when she was super fussy that God would never give me more than I could handle! And it was true and I survived! And so will you! Praying for you and let me know if you need anything!<BR/><BR/>Love you!!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097753579877644079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27247506.post-26533480407267393762008-03-15T19:27:00.000-07:002008-03-15T19:27:00.000-07:00That's how I've always felt too, that I had skim m...That's how I've always felt too, that I had skim milk. I also feel that chest size has an effect on it too. Joe is doind much better now that we've made the switch. He did have breast milk this morning and he guzzled it back as fast as he could. I do wish formula could taste as nice as breast milk.. oh well. I am thankful that we live in a time that allows us the option.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069076552296655584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27247506.post-21743384373508910322008-03-15T11:40:00.000-07:002008-03-15T11:40:00.000-07:00Jonas was super fussy when I had him breast feedin...Jonas was super fussy when I had him breast feeding. It was horrible. I'm not exagerrating when I say that it was 40 minutes before each feeding. My milk didn't give him any sustenance. Scott said he was getting skim milk!LOL<BR/>He was content once we made the switch.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616883470250983923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27247506.post-59833515420038459812008-03-15T10:50:00.000-07:002008-03-15T10:50:00.000-07:00Thank you Dawn! I'll tell her all that you said.Je...Thank you Dawn! I'll tell her all that you said.<BR/><BR/>Jenny, thanks so much. I'm starting to feel a lot better about it today. Both times that he's had formula he's been a lot more content and a lot less gassy. Obviously there is something with my milk that is effecting him. And since I've been sugar free and mostly dairy free for three or four days now I don't know what else I could be eating that's effecting him. So I am thankful that Dalen made the decision for us to get formula. I couldn't decide to do it, it was too hard for me and he knew it :) We're your boys fussy when they were little as well. I know you had a hard time, it's very tough, I was saying to Dalen last night "I really love him but I haven't been able to enjoy him yet, I've been too busy bouncing him."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15069076552296655584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27247506.post-60478672614016992582008-03-14T22:53:00.000-07:002008-03-14T22:53:00.000-07:00I know the guilt that is associated with not breas...I know the guilt that is associated with not breast feeding. With my first son I tried REALLY hard. They put me on antibiotics...I had a tube taped on my breast that was attached to a bottle of formula(to stimulate milk),but I couldn't produce milk. The nurses tried everything, and finally my mom, said, "it doesn't matter how you feed your baby, just that your baby is fed!". At this point my son was losing major weight and I was a nervous wreck. We switched to the bottle and things went as they should.(but I had some guilt that "breast was best!")<BR/>With my second, I went through a similar rigarou, and managed to breast feed for 5 weeks. Then my milk diminished. So I switched over to the bottle. By the time we had our 3rd baby, when the nurse asked if I wanted to put him to the breast I said, "nope...bottle please." I got a couple of harsh looks but momma does know best...<BR/>Talk about long winded!!!LOL<BR/>That cake your mom made was beautiful. What a beautiful princess you have!<BR/>Here's to a well nourished baby and not sore boobies!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616883470250983923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27247506.post-34634939152061823112008-03-14T21:59:00.000-07:002008-03-14T21:59:00.000-07:00praying for you and your family! having many babie...praying for you and your family! having many babies is a lot of work i know, but you are an amazing woman and mother! <BR/><BR/>Wow happy belated bday Emma-girl! wow i can't believe how fast its gone! you're getting so big! that cake is fantastic! glad you had such a special day!Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534169210252075092noreply@blogger.com
