Title: big day tomorrow
Post by: *happy* on August 15, 2012, 19:05:01 pm

 :-[ :-[
so tomorrow...DD will be getting formula for the first time in 7 months (excluding the formula given to her in the hospital day 1 & 2)...just a little sad that we are moving on....& this is coming from a girl who cried solidly each feed for the first 2 weeks!!!!never thought it would be bittersweet!!!!

a big thank you to all the ladies who helped us get through the various issues throughout....still on 2 BFs so no doubt I'll be hanging around here another little while!xxx

Oh honey! Hugs! You've done such a great job so far! Can you think of it as just another complimentary food you are giving her- just like you've introduced other solid foods and other foods than BM? This is just one other thing your introducing...
