Initially I felt guilty for formula feeding, but after a few weeks I got over it and realized my baby was healthy and happy and so was I. <br /><br />Thanks again for sharing the tips. If I have baby #2 I'll be sure to remember this post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987185331637616134.post-51916891062307943912011-08-10T15:37:51.245-04:002011-08-10T15:37:51.245-04:00This is a GREAT post.

Madaelyn would eat for 40 min sessions so I would feel the same way, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one.Bridgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646502810678689030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987185331637616134.post-48630194531827807162011-08-09T12:25:43.952-04:002011-08-09T12:25:43.952-04:00@Kate - so impressed you nursed Kate for 15 months...@Kate - so impressed you nursed Kate for 15 months even thought you never were able to become completely comfortable doing so.<br /><br />@Lisa - Motherhood has its joys, but there are certainly a lot of tears along the way. Like my panic attack yesterday that I was starving Behr and spent me into a tailspin emailing other mothers franticly. So yeah. It has its ups and downs.Shannon :: The Scribble Padhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07377831013971667963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987185331637616134.post-57172522827471793882011-08-09T10:21:24.457-04:002011-08-09T10:21:24.457-04:00Shannon, this was FASCINATING! Thanks for sharing....Shannon, this was FASCINATING! Thanks for sharing. Although I still feel a couple years away from "baby land" I've really been wondering about the TRUE ins and outs of parenting lately. All the stuff that isn't typically broadcast when people talk about how "amazing" it is to be a parent, especially how the whole process affects women and their bodies. So yeah, this was really interesting and good info to have long before I have to make these decisions for myself and my future babies. :) Thanks for the honesty!Lisa Loganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918708931119241541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1987185331637616134.post-34136988927806607522011-08-09T08:11:56.631-04:002011-08-09T08:11:56.631-04:00Shannon, I would most definitely call what you des...Shannon, I would most definitely call what you described here exclusive breastfeeding! You should feel really awesome about the start you've given Behr. I'm right there with you when you say that you don't always enjoy it the way some moms seem to. I honestly love the closeness to my baby, but find the rest of the process extreeeemely difficult. I've just never been able to get truly comfortable nursing. I nursed Kate until 15 months (when we started trying to conceive) and hope to do the same with Emilia...15 months feels like FOREVER!!!! Thanks for this awesome post...I feel like I just got to know you about twice as well as I did before!!! :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206882228594527689noreply@blogger.com
