Intro (kateitho)

edited September 2014 in Parenting after a Loss
    I was a member on TTCAL for about a year, and I just graduated from PgAL.  After 4 losses, a LPD diagnosis,  a full reproductive blood panel with no definitive answers, and the constant support of the wonderful Bumpies I've met,  we welcomed our amazing son, Jericho, to the world on August 26th at 1:41 am.  I am over the moon in love with him!  We are currently having some BFing supply issues and supplementing after every BFing with goat's milk, baby vitamins, and molasses per the peds instruction, but I hope to eventually EBF.  It has been heartbreaking to have to give my little guy a bottle, but I am happy he's here and doing well.

    Welcome and congrats! As long as your little guy us eating and doing well, try not to stress too much about the BFing issues. Often we mommies put too much stress on ourselves.

    Congratulations! He is such a cutie. I can relate to your BFing guilt issues, too. It is so hard and so emotional. Just try to remember you are doing what is best for your little guy by making sure he eats. I hope the supply issues resolve soon!

    Congrats and welcome! He is a cutie. I had major bfing issues with DD, had to supplement on off until she was about 3 months old. We then successfully bf'ed until she was 2! Hang in there, it is so hard and emotional and society makes the guilt pretty intense. The most important thing is that your baby is eating. ((hugs))

    Congrats and welcome!! Another one here with BF issues at the beginning. It is sooo hard! But once you get over the initial hump, it gets better. And like slensic said, LO eating is the most important thing regardless of how.

    I got a different pump with a smaller flange. Things are much more comfortable now, even if we're still struggling in the weight gain department...
