Bill is at a golf outing today, so I’ve been on my own. Normally, not a big deal. However, we started Will on formula this weekend, and he is not doing real well with it. Saturday night he didn’t sleep more than 2 hours at a crack. Last night was better. He was up at 11:30, 2:00, and 5:00. He use to sleep 4 – 6 hrs at one crack during the night. The weird thing is that he is eating more on the formula than the breast milk. I thought formula was suppose to be more filling. His eating schedule today looks something like this:
5am – I don’t remember
7am – 2 oz
10 am – 3oz
12 pm – 3 oz
2 – 3 oz
4:30 – 4 oz
6:30 – 2 oz
8:00 – 3 oz
He use to eat 4 oz every 3 -4 hours. I don’t know what happened. Anybody have any ideas???
I forgot to add that all he’s done tonight is cry.

AKA I feel like a bad mommy.
Guilt will do that to you. As many of you know, we had problems getting Will to latch on, and he got jaundice. Instead of messing around, I did what I did with Madison and pumped exclusively. I have been doing that since he was born. We are at the point that he is outdrinking what I can pump, and I had been supplementing my frozen milk. Last night, I did an inventory on the milk and realized that I have less than a weeks worth of milk left, so we needed to make some decisions. That is where my guilt comes into play.
I pumped with Madison till she was 4 months old. I quit because I hated it. I couldn’t get my supply to reach her demand. I resented her. I resented doing. I figured it was time to quit. I am not at that point (yet). However, we are going to Green Bay next weekend, and if we are going to introduce formula, I need to do it at home. Bill wanted me to quit pumping a month ago. I am not sleeping, and I am crabby all the time. I also can’t get anything done during the day due to me having to pump all the time.
So I am giving in and feeling pretty guilty about it. I will be able to spend more time with my children by giving this up. We gave Will some formula this morning, and he didn’t seem to mind. So why do I feel so bad?

This has to be my favorite of Will.
I thought you may get a kick out of his onsie. It says Pimp My Stroller. I have no idea where to get these — I got it as a gift.
Madison and Will together. She’s a great big sister (most of the time)
