Try not to beat yourself up - you do the best you can and he will be fine whatever you feed him. Well. Besides Snickers. That would probably cause a nut allergy as well as choke him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486438725653025356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-31969790120501345132010-09-24T05:51:10.871-07:002010-09-24T05:51:10.871-07:00I had to supplement my second, and you know what? ...I had to supplement my second, and you know what? It took so much of the pressure off, and it allowed me so much more freedom than exclusively breastfeeding, that it made it a far better experience. And my supply was probably better without the anxiety of wondering if my daughter was getting enough. And so I ended up breast feeding for more than a year, rather than giving up early. And I gave up pumping because I got almost nothing.Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146077261663557342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-58642157821502734862010-09-23T16:54:29.989-07:002010-09-23T16:54:29.989-07:00Thank you all so much xoxoxo I so so appreciate yo...Thank you all so much xoxoxo I so so appreciate you.amy turn sharp https://www.blogger.com/profile/02464390111666094856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-75048416741040225372010-09-23T16:19:23.908-07:002010-09-23T16:19:23.908-07:00Oh Oh but I understand.

Then I didn't even bother with the twins. If I couldn't do it right for one... Some guilt there of course, but I don't beat myself up over it. I DO admire those who persevere though.

Taking 160 mg of Dom a day, pumping like a mad woman, nursing as often as I could -- and still I could only produce about 8 ounces a day. I managed to eeek out a nursing relationship for 10 months. I cherish every minute I was able to nurse Charlie. Too few.<br /><br />And I am totally pissed at Abbott! We still feed Chuck a bottle or two a day of follow up formula because he hates milk. I have two empty containers and one brand new one -- which means I fed my baby several pounds of beetle juice. Well, guess who is busting open the full can to make three 1/3 full containers to get 3x the refund? F@*k Abbott.<br /><br />Big Super Mama Hugs to you, you are a ROCK STAR!!!!!Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18156559603968922694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163902.post-51964374501772801942010-09-23T05:59:09.381-07:002010-09-23T05:59:09.381-07:00I'm so sorry.
