My feelings are a little hurt
« on: August 05, 2006, 02:32:27 am »
I had to work late tonight, so LO was asleep when I came home. Not the first time, but first time without EBM bottle. And DH said he did just fine....translation- he didn't miss me or my milk! So I've done a good job teaching him independent sleep, but it would be nice to be missed! I am sure he will nurse very well in morning though!  ;D

You'll have to let us know how happy he is to see you in the morning, bet his smile will light up the room :)

Oh you were missed!  "Oh he did fine..." is simply a typical, pre-programed response that the manufacturers put in all DH's.  No worries!!  :-* :-* :-*

Love,
Zoey

I remember the first time that happened to me  :(  Although the next night it was like I was never even gone!!

He laughed when he saw me in the morning! ;) And he really concentrated on his nursing! My LO just isn't a "baby" anymore....already getting misty about the eventual last nursing. And since he is our last....it'll be a special memory forever.  :'(

I love that smile when I haven't nursed all day.  When I get back home from work and DS has had bottles all day (and, has done "just fine" all day with he bottles) the look on his face when he wakes up from his nap and sees me is priceless.  He might be fine with the bottles but you are unreplaceable and your LO knows that :)

Just found that I have three trips away from baby in Sept for work. I have spent one night away so far and that was for Mother's Day. The first was supposed to 2 weeks, but I managed to break it up. I leave Sun am, come back late Friday night, leave Sun pm, and come back Saturday. I think it will be hard to nurse when I come back. I am hoping my won't "forget" and I'll pump....but that's along time. I need to go out of town and baby can't come with me. THen I am back for 4 days and off again for three! I had hoped to nurse until 15 months- I guess it will be up to him! A little sad....and I don't leave for a month! :'(

You should feel pretty happy for BF as long and as well as you have.  My LO needed a bottle to supplement at 9 wks - her feeds were getting closer and closer, and she was feeding for 45mins at a time.  Gave her a bottle, and within 24 hours she absolutely screamed teh house down when I tried to BF her, and flat out refused to feed.  Note also that after the bottle was the first time in several weeks that she lasted 3 hours between feeds, night included.

She has since then been only formula fed, and is thrilled.  And I didn't even have to pump, I just didn't have good milk.   But 10 weeks later I am still really sad that it didn't last longer..... :'(

We were also co-sleeping, by choice.  About 3-4 weeks ago, DH was on night shift, and I noticed that she suddenly did not wake AT ALL in the night.  So now she is sleeping in her cot in her room.....and is thrilled (most of the time).  But I am left sad again :'(.

Our little one is VERY independant, 19 weeks and trying to control her own bottle.  She is not clingy to me at all.

Sadly, she is teething at the moment, and I am enjoying it, as she is cuddlier and clingier than she has ever been...I shouldn't feel that way, but I am enjoying the extra cuddles whilst she will lay still enough to have them..... :-[ ;)  She is just WAY too spirited.

I know how you feel , and envy you for how long you have been able to enjoy your BFing.

jbepko - good luck with your trips.  I have to travel for one week in November and DS will be 7 months.  I have enough stored for the trip but share in your concerns.  Good luck!!!
