I was never able to nurse for very long- my first 3 babies got the "failure to thrive" diagnosis at some point when we discovered they hadn't been gaining weight, and in some cases actually losing weight when I was nursing full time and it was devastating. With Charlie things went great for about 2 months, with him taking an occasional bottle with no problem but eventually, he got hungry and tired of the time it took to nurse and just started looking for the bottle after about 5 minutes on each side and things just dried up. It is sad- even when you know they are just fine on formula! Every time I think there must be something I can do differently "next time" to make it work better but it just doesn't happen for me.KatieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788492069202395313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22790366.post-36276927752564300042009-04-15T21:55:00.000-07:002009-04-15T21:55:00.000-07:00Hey I can relate.

I never really had a huge supply and tried everything I could to build it up, but it did no good. Then I went back to work and tried pumping, but I was getting next to nothing. So I was glad to see your post. You have done amazing and I think you're great!Camie Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02003245583739325480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22790366.post-29064809927290849122009-04-15T21:33:00.000-07:002009-04-15T21:33:00.000-07:00I am proud of you for putting this into writing. ...I am proud of you for putting this into writing. It's been eating you for a long time. You are a wonderful mother to have tried so diligently with Paisley.

Elo...This was a sweet and sad post and I loved it. Elora will be 11 months old next week. She takes three sippy cups of milk a day and two breast feedings. Twice this week feeding on one side at night wasn't enough for the first time. I think I might be running out of milk. I am relieved and sad. I'm excited to be done with breastfeeding and heartbroken at the same time.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758117271244662011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22790366.post-6346394748187400852009-04-15T16:25:00.000-07:002009-04-15T16:25:00.000-07:00So, weird as I am . . .and similar as I am in bein...So, weird as I am . . .and similar as I am in being a mom to 4 of the same ages . . .I read your entry about breastfeeding. It caused a span of emotions, getting teary eyed . .thinking about how neat being a mom and being able to sustain them entirely on breastmilk for so long is and then laughing out loud at your picture . .love the censor job. They grow up so quickly =(. Lexi turns 6 months next week and I'm not even ready to start solids, but will cause I should. Anyway, you've done so great nursing for so long and I'm glad you can see the good and bad that comes with having to switch to formula. I'm going to call you one of these days to catch up. Miss you!daveandbrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900193693149345985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22790366.post-29313180744444920312009-04-15T14:03:00.000-07:002009-04-15T14:03:00.000-07:00you are a great mom, robin. i'm so glad you were a...you are a great mom, robin. i'm so glad you were able to breastfeed your babies as much as you did.<br /><br />your blog is looking so cute these days, by the way.stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399191040892859634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22790366.post-299226933969791762009-04-15T11:27:00.000-07:002009-04-15T11:27:00.000-07:00That is a really sweet post.
