Thanks for sharing your experience Holly! Don’t feel bad about bottle feeding your baby, each mom has to do what makes sense for them and their families. The internet certainly is a blessing for sharing information now-a-days!

I wanted to breast feed so bad. I grew up on a farm and to me it was the natural way to feed. I had NO training back then (1975). My nipples were so sore and I know my son was receiving nourishment, he was a large baby (8 lbs 4 oz), and would latch and suck, I changed breasts each feeding but he would only sleep for 45 min and would want to feed again. I tried for over a week or so and then gave up and put him on a bottle and he would sleep for 4 hrs. He was a very, very good baby and slept throughout the night (11-5) at 6 wks old. I had an emergency C-section do to his head position in the birth canal. There is so much support and training and sharing today with having access to the internet. I hope all mothers can breastfeed successfully if they choose to. Thanks for listening. Hugs, Nana

Thank you Krystal! I am so thankful for my regular readers like you! That must have been hard omitting lactose in your diet, what a sacrifice you made for all that time! You sound like a great momma.

I personally breastfeed my daughter for 18 months. It worked really well for us and I had minimal problems. In the beginning it was a little rough because I found out my daughter was lactose intolerant and me drinking milk caused her problems. Once we cleared everything up and I had a good diet she was a champ, I love the paper clip idea and want to use that when our next baby is born!
