soooo - the wee one can drink regular formula!!! WOOHOO!
i so with all of my entire being WISH i could have breastfed lou for a whole year - but she wouldn't nurse. and pumping every 3-4 hours was TOUGH!!! i was waking up in the middle of the night to try and keep up.... and i was barely keeping up. i got stressed - really, really stressed. so over christmas break (i took that week off of work), i decided to try soy formula again. she. would. not. eat. it.
so we decided to risk it - and we tried regular formula. AND SHE ATE IT! AND THERE WAS NO BLOOD IN HER STOOL! and all is well in our little world.
Since then i have been easing off of pumping - to the point where i am only down to pumping once at night for her bedtime bottle. i'll probably stop that pretty soon too, i'm just not getting much out.
my little lou is happy, i am happy, and we have more freedom out and about in the world.
i'm frankie - wife to dave (or grande as i affectionately call him) & mom to the amazingly fabulous eloise. we live our life and love in hoboken. i wear glasses - have tattoos - love clothes - hate to shop - and i'm still trying to figure out what to do when i grow up. i'm not the best writer - but i have SO much i want to share = ) so please bare with me while i put it all out there...

Something they don't tell you....
Is that having a baby will make your husband (spouse/partner) look at you like you're crazy. And maybe you are....but you rightfully are.
