So, I just have to let this out. I love my babies to death but right now they are really putting me through a challenging time. Michael wasn't gaining weight, in fact he lost an ounce over 2 months. The pediatrician said to supplement after each nursing session. So I have been, but it's difficult.
I'm pumping multiple times a day and at night in order to increase my supply and to have milk available for supplementing. I feel like I'm back in the newborn days where I was nursing all the time and not getting sleep.
I think Malia is getting enough, so honestly it shouldn't be a supply issue. But then I have to think - is she getting enough?
I know there is an end in sight. I know this won't last forever. But right now it feels like it will last forever and it doesn't make me feel very good.
