I pumped for about a month and after a month I decided that was TOO much work (pump 15-20 minutes, feed 15-20 minutes, then about 15-20 minutes later start the whole process over again)...he's going to grow up just fine and nobody will EVER ask him on an application "Did your mother brestfeed you?"<br /><br />GO AMY!FitNotQuitJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15014919189100257023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107375858151401170.post-85844686077208182192009-10-22T18:39:53.585-06:002009-10-22T18:39:53.585-06:00Oh Amy!

I know you've had and heard all the advice there is to give, but I must add that actually enjoying our babies is(AHEM)just a little important. Doing what feels right and what is best for you, your baby, and lets be honest your sanity (me too) then you've made the right choice. Now just move forward and enjoy it.Nate and Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037596311078812860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107375858151401170.post-8569104964064559312009-10-22T16:16:11.720-06:002009-10-22T16:16:11.720-06:00Hi Amy!

Reading your stories has brought back so many fun memories of being a new mom! Enjoy every minute of it, they grow up way too fast. I just want you to know I had the same problems with breast feeding. I would pump forever and nothing would come out. It was frustrating. Abbie has done just fine on formula. She has only gotten sick about 3 times and she is off the growth charts. I even had people tell me how horrible of a mother I was because I wasn't breastfeeding. Don't listen to them, they are just jealous because they don't have the time to enjoy their child like we do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107375858151401170.post-75469301661751921602009-10-22T15:40:17.160-06:002009-10-22T15:40:17.160-06:00Good for you!

But I got sucked in to your story because I can so can relate! I also had fertility problems, then after we had our long awaited baby I had no milk! I also starved my baby for a week until it was discovered.<br /><br />Then my doc told me I wouldn't make milk and while I was in tears in her office, she said " Leave here, go to Walmart and get some bottles and formula and start enjoying your baby". I did just that and it was such a relief actually. I finally began to enjoy mealtime (I also did that supplement contraption for a week-yuck)!Not to mention, my husband loved feeding her and I really enjoyed the freedom.<br />The system worked so well for us that I actually opted to go that route with our second child. Some women gasp! But, hey, my kids are healthy and happy, off the charts on growth and reaching their mile stones on time if not early. They are bonded to me because I am mommy and am home raising them every day!<br />Just wanted you to know that there were others out there with this situation and it will be okay. YOUR BABY WILL BE JUST FINE!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107375858151401170.post-91486845245959094952009-10-22T13:17:43.241-06:002009-10-22T13:17:43.241-06:00You're one smart woman. :)You're one smart woman. :)Momma Twitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372034791390267228noreply@blogger.com
