Sense Molly has been sick coughing and with a stuffy nose she really hasn't had an
appetite...which the doctor said she might not want to eat but as long as she is getting some fluid and pee diapers we should be
ok...but now that she is feeling better it seems as though she has lost
interest in nursing..ok..we'll she won't take formula so what am I going to do? We'll the
doctor suggested that we try soy formula and see if she would drink that...so for the first little bit I would do half
boobie milk and half
formula and she took right to it and then slowly took out the
boobie...now it seems that's the only thing she wants. The last couple of nights she has gone to bed nursing but
last night she would not go to bed (mostly because dad was home) but as soon as I gave her a bottle she drank the whole thing and went to bed....sad..my Molly Ann does not need her
mommas anymore! In a way I feel
guilty like I have not fulfilled my motherly duties..but maybe I feel
guilty because partly I am
relieved that were done?? I don't know but what ever or how ever Molly will eat..I'll take it!! Feeling
guilty I have been researching breast feeding on the
Internet and came upon a blog of nursing mothers...we'll there were such topics as weaning a 12 month old..weaning a 24 month old..and then something that caught my eye...it was so disturbing...weaning a 5 year old..yes ladies and gentlemen I typed it a FIVE year old!! are you kidding me!! I am the first to try and live by "to each their own" but you have to be KIDDING me!! There were woman on there talking about how you should not be
embarrassed and how most women breast feed that long...reading that article made me puke in my mouth a little...I mean come on..if you want your child to reap the benefits of breast milk that long can't you at least pump and give it to them in a cup..cause yeah they should be drinking out of a CUP!! One ladies advice to another on how to wean their 5 year old was to tell that child that "mommy's numb
numbs are closed for business..you can massage them while you go to sleep but no more!" WHAT!! Put this little story in your back pocket and think about it.....I just have to remember "to each their own!"........
We were at Target today and my mom and I got seperated...she had Molly and as I was trying to find them I could hear Molly talking super loud...as I came upon them I saw that she was sitting in the basket talking to this little baby....as I walked up to them and picked the baby up she looked at my mom with reassurance that the baby wasn't scary and when it was ok..she started touching it and talking to it again..I gave the baby a kiss and right after Molly leaned over and gave the baby a million open mouth kisses!!! How could I not buy it...so here she is playing with our Little Mommy doll....so cute!!!
