12 Weeks today
Posted On 01/19/2008 00:08:58 by Elizabeth_Bailey
Well butterball is 12 weeks old today...and how time flies. I wish I could just stop time and keep him small forever...they are so much easier to protect when they are small but I can't. He is doing so much better with the combination of the cereal, medicine, breastmilk and the newly added combination of formula. I really hated to try it but the well being of my son, and his comfort is more important than my need to independently feed him....but a half and half bottle along with the others have really seemed to have made a huge difference, in the last few days he's sleeping better, not so fussy, and just plain happier. I do at times still feel inadiquate as a mom since I breastfed Ryley for the first year....well nursed and pumped. But I suppose God has a different plan for this one. I am still hoping though that at some point he will grow out of the GERD so that I can go back to soley nursing but most likely by then he will have teeth and his brother.....set the path for a nursing baby with teeth.

I also got some genstain violet today and it seems to be helping...wish I would have tried that weeks ago...but should'a could'a would'a right.....Its amazing how things become norm....and the main issues that were mind boggling a month ago seem nonexistant now....isn't it amazing how you just fall right into place?

Cheer up!! you are doing what for your baby is best! My baby was admitted to the hospital when she was two days old, and could not nurse, so during her stay I wasn't producing much milk so I had to feed her formula and sometimes mixed formula with breastmilk, I started having feeling of failure too, but my love for my baby kept me going she got better, but my milk supply did not, so up until she was two months old I would give little formula now and then, but now she is four months and only breastfeeding and doing great.
Not all stories about breasfeeding are perfect, but they are all full of love!!
