formula guilt

last sunday, we started giving maki 4oz of formula.  i'm not producing enough milk for him anymore and my frozen stash is almost out.  i would rather give a little bit of formula now just in case i get sick or run out of milk for any reason.  this way i know maki would be ok drinking formula.  if i have any extras (which i don't), i will freeze it and start building my stash again so i can breastfeed longer.

told nanny i started to give a little formula and she asked me if i should see a lactation consultant.  back off, woman!  i truly believe i tried everything i could (hospital-grade pump, tea, fenugreek pills, etc).  keep in mind i'm a working mom and my work environment is not conducive to pumping/breastfeeding.  today i had meetings back to back and was only able to pump once.  i already feel guilty for not producing enough milk...   our society needs to stop putting this pressure on mothers!

thank goodness maki drank the stinky-partly-digested formula without any complaints or issues.  should i be a little hurt that he didn't notice the difference between formula and breast milk?!!!!

maki is teething big time.  he has at least 3 fingers in his mouth most of today and slobbering like a dog.  he barely napped at all although his appetite seems unaffected.

here are pics of maki from today.  mik put together the bugaboo seat since maki has great neck control now.  he looks like a big boy in his seat!  waaaaaaaaaaaaaah

big boy is in his big boy stroller seat now *sniff*

he looks so happy in it!!!

teething like crazy.... poor baby
