I guess he finds water just as satisfying.(i was even a bad mom and put choc. syrup in the formula to see if he would take it) He has been cut off from the boob except once a day and that was only implemented because I forgot exactly how much it hurts to quit. Breastfeeding IS a job! Don't feel guilty... you have to quit some jobs because there's always something else to replace it.The Ayers Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604606843235983211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-33003603958317320382008-02-12T07:28:00.000-05:002008-02-12T07:28:00.000-05:00I understand exactly what you mean Angelle and I w...I understand exactly what you mean Angelle and I was feeling the same way. There are only so many hours in the day and I just can't do it anymore. I've pretty much come to the same decision. I'm only nursing twice a day now with Kaitlyn. I don't have time to pump while I'm at work. <BR/><BR/>I feel so much better now too...you put exactly how I was feeling in words!!!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08481413402962708355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-42392970295046847762008-02-11T22:14:00.000-05:002008-02-11T22:14:00.000-05:00I can totally relate to this post.

Breastfeeding did not help to bond us closer together - it felt just as you described it - a job. I too, felt a lot of guilt. Hats off to you for making it 6+ months! I only made it 2 weeks.NaeNaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279564325319453789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-49098250715152768952008-02-11T15:20:00.000-05:002008-02-11T15:20:00.000-05:00You have to trust your instinct, and if it's time ...You have to trust your instinct, and if it's time to stop... so be it!

I've always believed that anyway, but it's still good to hear. I know breastfeeding is the "natural" choice, but I often wonder just how much better it is for the baby. Formula babies seem to be doing just fine. And how thankful I am for that. Erin wants a happy, well-rested Mommy, and I'm sure she's in full support of whatever decision you make! :)Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168028916053587639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-38272105771511316872008-02-11T09:41:00.000-05:002008-02-11T09:41:00.000-05:00I second what Tiffany said.

You have to do what feels right for you and Erin!Chelsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184258915036701622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30994832.post-81598565050408222802008-02-11T09:39:00.000-05:002008-02-11T09:39:00.000-05:00I have no kids...so I'm not an expert, but I'm ama...I have no kids...so I'm not an expert, but I'm amazed that you've kept it up this long.

Every child is different and it takes a good mother to realize that. Good for you to be in sync with Erin and know what she needs.Tiffanyrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552332586503281648noreply@blogger.com
