Things are getting so much easier these days. Before our two month check up Hayden was literally eating round the clock. I was feeding him about every twenty minutes. He seemed to always be hungry. And when he wasnt eating he was crying. Needless to say it was really hard on my body and my emotions. He was attached to my hip all day and night and I was getting really frustrated with it. All that eating and he wasn't gaining enough weight. The doctor told us that we needed to start supplimenting with formula. At first I felt like I had failed. I felt like I was unable to supply my baby with what he needed to survive. I had my little mini break down which of course Tyler talked me through then I was over it. I couldnt help what was happening so I just had to let them happen. It turns out my breast milk wasnt fatty enough for my little one.
The second I gave him his first bottle of formula he was instantly happy. Now we go one and a half to two hours between feedings and even have three hours of consecutive sleep through the night. SOOO much better then it was before. I still breast feed him, the only difference is is that after he is done nursing then I give him the bottle. We now have a very, very happy baby!
