Up until recently I was a 100% baby to boob breastfeeding mom (that is not an actual term, i just made it up). However, having to be available to Carys whenever she was hungry was becoming very limiting (for me). I wanted someone, anyone, especially Chris, to be able to give her a bottle (of my milk that I pumped with this awful machine) from time to time, so I could start having a life again. I wanted to be able to go out for longer than two hours and not have to worry that my baby is at home starving with no milk. Soooo, after several frustrating failed attempts at trying to give Carys a bottle, she surprised me one day and just started drinking out of it... like she had been doing it for years! Yay!
So, now I'm a 99% baby to boob breastfeeding mom. Pumping SUCKS and that is why she only gets the bottle 1% of the time... but I'm thankful for that 1%!
