Well sometimes....DD is 11 months and is ebf. Has never taken a bottle. Will drink from sippy cup but only a little water.
I'm going back to work in 2 weeks so am weaning her from the breast in the daytime. this is resulting in all night feeding (have been up from 3am feeding) and she will not go back in her cot. She has never slept more than 4 hours at a time without waking for a feed (she feeds to sleep). She will not eat much in the way of solid food have tried purees and blw.
I seem to be surrounded by babies who are sleeping, eating, putting on weight (she is 9th percentile and I got quizzed by HV at last weigh in as she had only put on 1oz).
I really wanted to enjoy the last few weeks of my maternity leave and had planned little trips out to create those memories of her 1st year. but I'm too knackered to consider doing anything.
Hate is probably too strong. I've been lucky in many ways as i didn't have many issues with feeding and get lots of praise for keeping going for this long. but i didn't have much choice and feel a bit trapped as have not been able to leave her with anyone or go out of an evening etc. But now i'm faced with trying to work a full day in the office on about 4 hours sleep.
I also feel sad that this phase is ending. Just feel a bit emotional generally.
