I had a devil of a time due to supply issues and ultimately stopped after 3 months when I returned to work, but our peanut was supplemented from the get-go because it took so long for my milk to come in.

Great advice!

I have just recently decided that at 10mo Wade has basically weaned himself... I was putting the "mommy guilt" on myself since I didn't make it the 1yr mark like I had with Cadence. But I finally realized what I was doing to myself and just accepted that he was done and it hasn't been the end of the world like I thought it would be!!

Since I'm nursing exclusively right now, I don't know how much milk to give daycare. Sure I give her a bottle of pumped milk on occasion, but that's usually just to hold her over until I can give her a proper nursing (i.e. I wanted to have a beer or glass of wine with dinner). If you don't mind me asking, how much milk were you giving in bottles before increasing to 7-8 ounces? Monica will be 12 weeks old when she starts at daycare and I'm still waffling on how many ounces and bottles of milk to bring.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971134726215605240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7480104315567507706.post-34045294967823710862013-08-21T19:36:14.845-07:002013-08-21T19:36:14.845-07:00So thankful you shared your story...I didn't h...So thankful you shared your story...I didn't have any issues physically but I can definitely relate to the anxiety/frustration end of bf.

We had a lot of our problems front-ended, beginning in the hospital with a poor latch and too much weight lost... and I was in so much pain for the first 6 weeks that I'd cry everytime he started to wake up from a nap. But we eventually found our groove, and going back to work & pumping was HARD work. We started weaning daytime bottles at 7 months, and then by 8 months I decided to only nurse morning, night (and everytime he woke up... 2-3 times), and lasted until 10 months. We were both done, and it was a wonderful experience in the end. I didn't do as much mom-blog reading back then, but if I had, I maybe would have found some support and reassurance from other moms that said it was OK if it hurt, or I didn't love it at first, or if I had to supplement. Momma guilt is hard, but its so wonderful to find other women to share our stories with! Thank you so much for sharing!!
