So today I have decided that the fight that I have been having with Maddie pants to nurse, just isn't working for us any more. She isn't happy, I am not happy. I know and understand that its the best thing for her. But she will not nurse and i can't force her to do it. Giving her formula isn't the easiest choice I have made, but hey babies got to eat.
We made it almost 4 months, and I must say it was a long, long 4 months. I am proud of what we did. She has been on the bottle for 2 days not and is napping and sleeping better and is happy and full.
I was feeling like a horrible mom, that I wasn't giving it my best. But in the long run as Carl has said if she is happy and healthy that is all that matters. I can't beat my self up about my tiny nipples that make it hard for her to latch, my low milk supply and the fact that she just doesn't want to do it.
I need to just be able to enjoy my baby and not dread every time I need to feed her.
I am happy with my choice and I know she will be a happy healthy formula fed baby:)
and on a bright note my Little mad pants ROLLED over today :) I missed it just like i missed the first time Emma rolled over. But I am one proud mamma.
I am going to miss having a tiny baby in the house. I love when they what to snuggle and just sleep in mommy.
