LORD give me strength to be one with patience this morning..I have been trying to transition Hadley from breast milk to formula... and let me tell you, today, it has been a challenge. Yesterday I dropped one bm feeding and replaced it with formula and she did fine! She drank 2 1/2 oz. and ate cereal. She then wanted to take a nap but the ONLY way she was doing it was if she had NeeNee (bm). soo I strapped her in her baby carrier and she whined a tiny bit and then fell asleep! (miracle). So this morning.. I had been up since about 4:30..off and on. I was EXHAUSTED, then I remembered!... AH yes! I can drink coffee and she can have her formula and by the time her bm feeding rolls around (lunch time) the coffee will have left my system... buutttttt NO. She was not having the formula this morning after she ate her cereal and I had drank 2.. count them.. 2! cups of coffee... NO BUENO. I drank about 2 bottles of water after that and kept trying to give Hadley the bottle.. but NOPE. UGH! sooo she kept screaming and I finally gave in and gave her the boob. Poor baby. I really do not want to push this on her too much and make her feel like I'm just being mean to her.. but I seriously and tired of breastfeeding. I know that there are those people out there that will give me hell for this.. and I used to care what others thought... but now I'm saying F**K IT! I can only breast feed for however long I feel that I can stand it.. and right now I feel like I am done!
So does anyone have tips on how I can make this transition a little bit easier on Hadley and myself?? I would greatly appreciate POSITIVE and informative feedback on this! please and thank you!
So on another note.. It's the 1st of December! YAAYY! Soo happy! I love December! Birthdays, Christmas, cold weather! ahhh couldn't ask for more!!
Hadley has now learned to hold her sippy cup up and drink from it on her own! sooo proud of my smart baby girl!
