I remember that my bubs went through a patch where he was pulling himself off the boob and crying(around the same age as your bubs I believe) I just preserved and we got through it. And he is a champion feeder! And he also hates the bottle - so frustrating!nellbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05078020385820548449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-63621590979623289612010-05-20T22:46:38.663-07:002010-05-20T22:46:38.663-07:00Hi Amy, thanks for your advice about solids...

She's using it more as a facial, than for food :)<br /><br />I hope you get Flynn's issues resolved soon :(Kylie Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16414589007412394888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-41088012766712189152010-05-20T14:42:20.552-07:002010-05-20T14:42:20.552-07:00Aww - thanks everyone!

In fact, jump onto this website (www.mamamia.com.au) and check out the post yesterday about how bloody hard mothers in particular are on themselves.<br /><br />Breastfeeding is the hard route, it really is. I'm currently breastfeeding my 3 week old, and BFd my 3 year old for a year, so I hear you. <br /><br />Just do the best you can. It's what I do. You're not superhuman and we all crack sometimes (I do so often! Even on a daily basis lately!). Deep breath and lots of herbal tea. <br /><br />xx P23Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-14765607338541571742010-05-19T16:36:55.781-07:002010-05-19T16:36:55.781-07:00You are NOT a bad mom!

I remember one night when Ethan was a week old. He started whimpering, so I tried to feed him, and then he all out started wailing. I tried feeding him, changing him and I even took him outside and paced back and forth in front of my apartment with him. David was out helping a friend with something. Three hours later he was still crying, and I just couldn't figure it out, so I sat with him on the floor, him propped up on my legs facing me, and cried. I cried for a long time. This scene, minus the walking, has replayed itself with Claire and Grayson. With Claire, it was a weekly occurrence. The colic was terrible and I was exhausted, which always led to great big sobs from me.Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530738298752681517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-53717169829222770262010-05-19T05:25:32.517-07:002010-05-19T05:25:32.517-07:00Aw amy.
