I'm not sure if it is true or not, but I know she did and that was what she was told. <br /><br />don't be hard on yourself of BF doesn't work out. Yeah it is great if it does, but there are worse things than if it doesn't. All that matters is your little guy is getting the nutrients he needs to grow one way or another. My daughter was on half breast milk/half formula for the first 8 weeks of her life, and then I got mastitis and gave up. She went to straight formula until she was 12 months. You do the best you can, and that is all you can ask of yourself.<br /><br />Glad to hear Elvis is doing so well, growing and thriving. He is one special little guy. Give him a hug from me.

That's excellent to hear how well he is doing?<br /><br />Have you tried having a small drink (alcoholic)? I've heard that can help with the letdown reflex. Realize that of course that means "pump and dump" as you don't want to pass this to Elvis ... but I wonder if that helps many women ramp up?

He is gorgeous and I am so incredibly happy for you! I have enjoyed following your great story so much. Breastfeeding is hard under the best of circumstances, and I applaud your efforts and totally support your decision to stop when you feel is best. Happiest Baby on the Block totally helped with Grace's nighttime fussies and gas. Good luck, it so hard to watch them deal with it.
