for the love of milk... part III

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.
