I wasn't able to breastfeed with Lu because she was so small and didn't take to it at all...then when Bubba came I just figured I'd go straight to the bottle and not try. Maybe with #3 it will be different...whenever THAT is!<br /><br />WMWorking Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155998078498583440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635766407444068698.post-38074022507986039172011-08-17T12:27:14.385-05:002011-08-17T12:27:14.385-05:00I'm so glad you wrote about this.

Well said! <br /><br />My first didn't want to nurse, and at 6 wks he went to the bottle, my second was much better and went 9 months before going to a cup. Our third was another story. I wasn't able to hold him or nurse until he was 12 days old, so I had to start out with a pump at Children's Hospital. I left 30 days after he was born with 3 GALLONS of breast milk - most of which was not used because I nursed him exclusively until he was 18 months. He was the sickest then, but the healthiest now.Aspiring Mom2threehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823281380825825244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635766407444068698.post-88519428322217199242011-08-16T15:04:55.344-05:002011-08-16T15:04:55.344-05:00I'm nearing the end of BFing with Edith, the l...I'm nearing the end of BFing with Edith, the longest of any of my kiddos.

He was a month early so I dont know if that had something to do with it. I definitely plan to try my hardest to do it with this baby :) Way to go!BNMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865816022677082186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635766407444068698.post-23389989790208301212011-08-15T21:56:03.680-05:002011-08-15T21:56:03.680-05:00Awesome hon!

I had a tough time getting the hang of things with Ilana, and only nursed her for 4 months because she got sick (multiple things) from daycare and only gained 9 oz from her 2 mo to her 4 mo appt. I eliminated EVERYTHING that could possibly be the cause, though I knew it was the sickness. As soon as my milk dried up I was sooo sad, I really wasn't ready to quit. I nursed Shawn for 9 months, he came out a natural nurser. :) I plan to nurse this time as well...I figure with all the illnesses that breast feeding is supposed to stave off, I HAVE to try it. :) I too don't pound breast is best, BUT I do provide lots of support because I know how it feels to want to give up!Keyshiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816077663836143073noreply@blogger.com
