I'm still in love with our newest family member, but I'm frustrated with the whole breastfeeding process. I am producing milk, just not enough and we're having to supplement with formula. I'm ready to give up, but Carlos thinks we should give it a little more time. It's easier said than done. I hate to see Christian so fussy because he's hungry. I can keep him happy if he stays breastfeeding 24/7, but what kind of mommy experience is that? I have plenty to do around the house, which includes taking care of myself as well. Breast feeding is definitely a challenge and I commend any woman who can do it and actually sticks with it. Kudos to you! I'm ready to enjoy Christian more, but in the meantime we'll try it a lot more and try weighing Christian again using our scale. Today Christian weighed 8.32 oz which is 5 more ounces than last time, 7.12 oz. I'm happy to know he's not loosing weight, but I really think its the supplementing we're doing that is really helping the weight gain. We've taken over 1000 pictures since he was born and I'm in the process of trying to print some out to start our album and to give to my mom. I adore our lil Christian, he's the cutest ever!
