You tried your best and you did it for quite longer than most moms. Formula's not the "devil" either. I was breast fed for a year, and my brother never was - he was formula fed since he was allergic to my mom's breast milk. Well, guess what? I grew up with allergies, vision problems, weight problems, anemia, hearing problems, and other minor issues. My brother? Never a health problem in his childhood or life. Don't feel any ways about it, just be happy and baby will be happy - end of story really! It's not like you're feeding him Big Macs over Quinoa. I'm going to try to breastfeed, but if it doesn't work out, I can't stress myself over it and am trying to make peace with the option of formula feeding now if I have troubles.KatelynMadehttp://www.katelynmade.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304141807158013844.post-49478898394144213862012-07-12T13:26:10.489-07:002012-07-12T13:26:10.489-07:00great post!

Ev...You have done well! Some was better than none.<br /><br />Even though I believe breast is best, when I had my daughter switching to formula at 6 weeks was the best thing both of us.<br /><br />I had a hard time bonding with her, and was so miserable with the crying because she was hungry, and the pain that was involved with breastfeeding. We switched to formula, said goodbye to breastfeeding and I was finally able to bond with my daughter because we were both happier.<br /><br />Your emotional health is just as important. Don't look back and move forward.Desirae Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567281737612580223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304141807158013844.post-64396368043240315182012-07-11T21:09:04.702-07:002012-07-11T21:09:04.702-07:00I was actually going to suggest switching to formu...I was actually going to suggest switching to formula on your last post but I know it's a sensitive issue and some moms are militant about it so I just kept to myself like I usually do (even though I never got that impression from you specifically). There's a lot of pressure in the blog world to breastfeed, and I even think there is a lot of propaganda out there as well. I'm not saying breast isn't "best," but I think babies need a happy and healthy mama a lot more than they need whatever is in their milk. So try not to feel guilty about your decision... baby C will be just fine! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711544814427186603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304141807158013844.post-63350890401944732452012-07-11T14:14:56.738-07:002012-07-11T14:14:56.738-07:00Proud of you for sticking it out this long, girl! ...Proud of you for sticking it out this long, girl! What's important is that your little man is nourished. I know that can be rough though....with the unmet expectations and mommy guilt, so I pray the transition is easy on your heart!<br /><br />And I wrote a big long comment on your last post but I accidentally deleted it. But I'm pretty sure when Adoration was 18 weeks I still felt like a big, fat cow, not even close to fitting into pre preggo jeans.It felt like it took awhile for my body to balance back out. You will get there, just keep doing what your doing. And try not to stress, cause you are beautiful regardless! Also, I didn't lose the last of my weight until AFTER I was done breastfeeding. I feel like the body holds on to that extra fat because it knows its got a big job to do.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160876571967459615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304141807158013844.post-81568052294356971272012-07-11T13:33:18.597-07:002012-07-11T13:33:18.597-07:00Breast is best, unless it's not working. What&...Breast is best, unless it's not working. What's important is that you and your baby are healthy and it sounds like trying to breast feed was not working for either of you. This whole mom-guilt thing is horrible, especially when it comes to feeding. We've been having issues with that lately (I'm actually in the process of writing a breast feeding post) so I totally get where you're at and how you're feeling. Just know that you're doing what's best for your baby. I'm rooting for you!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384152817490849846noreply@blogger.com
