Sad Day for Mommy
Yesterday I made a rough decision to stop nursing Austin. I think my milk supply went down because I never get sleep and it was stressing me out. I really like to nurse my babies so it was a hard decision. Austin and I spent the day crying. Every time we would look at each other we would start to cry. He finally gave into the bottle at 5:00 last night. He ate 8 ounces and didn't wake up until 1:30. Yeah! He is so sweet I just love that little guy.

Your blog made me cry! That's so sad...but good, too, if it helps both of you sleep. I hate it when the right decision is not the easy one. Good luck! You and Austin still have lots of other ways to bond, and lots of time to do it. I hope you all get to sleep for longer stretches now!
It's okay, the bottle will make your life a lot easier especially if you are sleeping! I guess I really don't know, because I never breast fed, but life is good with sleep!!
You are a wonderful mom and stopping nursing won't stop Austin from knowing that you love him. He will be a bright happy child with more sleep and a less stressed mommy!
That is a hard decision but it sounds like it is the right decision for both you and Austin. I hope things are going a little better...sending a big hug your way!
Ah Nik, that made me cry. I know how much you loved nursing him, but you made the best decision for both of you. Making hard decisions that are ultimately the best, is the hardest part of being a parent.
I cried for days when I stopped nursing Jake, and he was 2, so when you enjoy it, it's never easy, but you will both be better off, and you will finally get some sleep.
Nik, I am so sorry. I know it has been a hard decision for you. I remember the first time I fed Alexis formula I felt so bad. That was 10 years ago and still remember the feelings. I am glad he took the bottle for you. Hopefully better days are around the corner. You guys have been through a lot!
