Formula isn't from the devil!<BR/><BR/>You are a wonderful mother and your children are great kids, whether breast or bottle fed.<BR/><BR/>But do keep getting your rest! Not only do you kids need a rested mother in each of their own ways, but you need it for yourself and your hubby.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01282570959779799478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988275145038032119.post-14401460334351314642008-12-17T09:31:00.000-07:002008-12-17T09:31:00.000-07:00Wow- I didn't know you and Josiah had three childr...Wow- I didn't know you and Josiah had three children!

I know I am heading into a day or two of marathon nursing since she hasn't been eating much due to sickness...so when I am sitting and nursing, I will be praying for you!Thiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215607323324295590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988275145038032119.post-42055092615181189132008-12-17T09:09:00.000-07:002008-12-17T09:09:00.000-07:00Just do what's best for your baby. It sounds like...Just do what's best for your baby. It sounds like he grew so much when you supplemented with the formula. Please don't let what others think or say make you feel guilty if you need to do this. I have 12 and 8 year old extremely healthy kids who were exclusively bottle-fed. I personally am an extremely healthy 42 year old woman who was exclusively bottle-fed because my mom was unable to breast feed. Keep in mind that formula wasn't as good back then as it is now, and yet I've been very healthy, have almost no allergies, and am pretty smart. :) Everyone's situation is different. Do what is best for YOU. God bless you!Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02883096095980241281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6988275145038032119.post-37188040574216873292008-12-17T09:01:00.000-07:002008-12-17T09:01:00.000-07:00I'm so glad!!!!

Don't feel bad about doing what you need to do to feed your baby -- as my mom always says, "formula babies DO thrive" because she had to do it with me but nursed my brother. I admire you for wanting to breastfeed as long as possible but like you said, if you can't keep up, don't feel bad about giving Justus what he needs to stay well fed. You're doing a great job!!!!! :)Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18262298341057231786noreply@blogger.com
