I am comitted to finishing what I started.

...and when I come one her and whine about how much I hate EPing, I want someone to remind me what I just said. Ok?

I have tried the hypoallergenic formula. I fee like LO just doesn't feel well on it. She seems to actually 'like' the formula, which is the only reason I gave it a couple more days. Nah... This is ridic. Why am I wasting my money on this formula when I make more than enough BM to feed her? Why? Because I wanted to eat some ice cream? I have to get over this selfish idea. We have not even 100% confirmed shes allergic to anything. Honestly, I have snuck some soy in there and she was fine. AND... heres the kicker... I got brave and tested the waters before we tried the hypoallergenic. I gave her 1 ounce of plain ol' Similac. Nothing happened. Nothing at all. So...???? Allergic? No. Intolerant, maybe.

I will continue what I started.

I'll make some dairy free pumpkin pie, and get over myself. I will feed this baby BM until she is 1. I will. I will. I will.

Good for you! My goal is a year, and I hope I'm as dedicated as you are. It also looks like we're heading towards EPing.

Keep your head up and make short goals with your long term goal in mind. I wanted to nurse one year also, but I started with saying "I'll be happy if we can nurse at all", then "I'll be happy if we can make it to 3 mo", then "I'll be happy if we can make it to 6 mo", and now I will be happy if we can make it to a year (almost there) and after that, we will just see what happens. At any point, if DD wanted to stop nursing, then I would be open to that and ready to pump for a year. Good job so far!!
