So my precious Joei has allowed me two blissful nights of 8-10 hrs sleep straight, until last night. After getting up to eat twice in a 2 hr time frame to eat she finally slept for another 4 hrs.
Now Joei does get a bottle before bed and was getting bottles overnight bc Jeramie wanted to help feed. But since we started adding cereal she wld usually sleep til almost 6am so it wld be time for him to get ready so I wld just breastfeed her.
Well I wld like to strictly bottle feed her but the transition isn't going well.
She has started eating around 2oz the crying until I give in and give her the boob. It's not gas pain or anything like that, she just doesn't want the bottle. So I replaced one feeding with a bottle today and same thing.
I have a killer migraine today and cld really benefit from the longer time between feedings but she won't allow it.
I feel bad for wanting to only bottle feed bc its for purely selfish reasons. There are moms out there that can't breastfeed no matter how hard they try plus we all know breast is best but I can't help but admire the freedom of a bottle fed baby.
But if things keep going like they are miss Joei will be making the decision for me. I have struggled with this since she came home. It's a lot of work, but also very rewarding.
I guess I just have to follow her cues. I can't force her to drink from a bottle.
