Yesterday, I was thumbing through my Above Rubies magazine. Half calling out to my hubby in the other room about the days events, halfheartedly flipping through the pages and looking at the pictures. That's when I saw an article I needed to see for a long time. I paused and read it. The woman writing was me! Anemic; yes, struggled with breastfeeding; yes, scheduled feedings; yes, tired, not enough milk, skinny babies, yes, yes, YES!
My precious baby is almost six months and she hasn't gained any weight. I have been toying with formula. Do I? Do I not? When I pump I see nothing. So busy being about in my Martha duties trying to figure out how I can squeeze in feeding my baby and HERE is the solution! So, I read with great enthusiasm then hopped off the bed and practically tackled my husband. "Look at this!" I said shoving the magazine in his face, "This is me!" I scurried off, "Quick, where is your iPad I need to find out about Responsive Breastfeeding!"
Please, I implore you to follow this link to this amazing blog I found of a Supermom (seriously, she is) and her writings in regards to Responsive Breastfeeding.
If you have these woes, this can help!

I pray all is going well!
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth. We've been working on Responsive Breastfeeding for a week now and she hasn't really gained any weight yet but my supply is starting to kick back up.
