I thought things had got better after my visit to the baby bistro on Friday.
We got to the point over the weekend where he wouldn't even take the breast into his mouth . I think he is having a growth spurt (12 weeks) and I don't think I have enough milk to cope with it. Lets face it, I barely had enough milk anyway.
He was starving and had barely wet nappies so I had to give him a bottle which of course he wolfed down. He did bf overnight but this morning had a small feed and was crying and rooting for more but wouldn't go near my nipple- just cried.
He has had two 4 oz bottles and one breast feed since 7 am.
I have been crying all weekend and desperately hope that I may be able to give him a bed time feed and that my milk will stick around in order to do that.
I pumped four times yesterday and only got 2 oz (yes, I know its no indication).
As those of you that have followed my threads will know, I have tried everything to make this work, but unfortunately my body has got the better of me.
To have fed him for 12 weeks is more than I could have dreamed of, but that also makes it worse because we have come so far and now I feel it is being cruelly snatched away.
Anyway, enough of my waffling, just wanted to update you all and thank you for being with me on my journey.
