My life as a boob

Yeah, thats pretty much it lately

last night was rough she was up 2:30-7:45

days n nights mixed up? tonight better so far usually i have to set alarm to wake her up and feed

she is a slow eater

like 30-40 mins on a side and she will eat both sides

falls asleep a lot but at least she’s eating

still giving just like half ounce formula after breastfeeding, most times, and pumping to try n increase supply

hard work but so worth it

-typed at 4:15 am. with one hand while bailey sleeps i mean eats

You go girl! You should be so so so proud of yourself. I am glad that you’re seeing the reward in BF. Sometimes it’s hard to when you’re tired and hormonal and feeling like a walking boob, but it really is worth it in the end. And isn’t it great just having that special quiet time with just the two of you? I know that sucks for Jonathon, but come on, you carried her for nine months! You deserve some special bonding time!

Hang in there. For the first 4-8 weeks I was like — how long do I have to do this? Knowing that I wanted to breastfeed her at least for 6 months. Then after it wasn’t so hard it became a very special time. I was sad when I weaned her at a year. But don’t feel bad if you can get to that warm fuzzy place at 4:15 in the morning! I remember my mom saying something about special bonding and I was totally not feeling that way at all. I had a SLOW eater too. You will feel like cavewoman but it gets better.

You’re doing great, Tara. It’s cool that you can do other things while breastfeeding, too. I usually ended up watching gilmore girls on dvd It’s nice that you can get online and type. Pretty soon, it will take less time and will be very special for both of you (not that it isn’t now!) See you tonight… can’t wait to meet Bailey!
