Fussy

Lucy is so fussy! I am at a loss for what to do. Do I just cut out all foods from my diet? Do I go with formula? Do I pump and give bottles? When do I find extra time in my day to pump? I can do it sometimes, when Nick is here to watch the girls, or if by chance Lucy takes a good nap. It's so frustrating.

I'm all about breastfeeding and totally understand the health benefits of it. But it is really hard. And there's so much guilt that goes along with it, whether you do it or not. If I keep going, I feel like I am possibly causing her fussiness. Is my milk hiring her stomach? She seems hungry all the time...so I not have enough milk? If I go with formula, I can know exactly how much she's eating, but I have to figure out which formula works best for her. And I'd she's just as fussy in formula, well then I look stupid for switching.

Also, no one told me that nursing would make my hormones nuts. Seriously it's bad enough having a baby, but bf'ing has kept my hormones all over the place. I am acting like a crazy person. If going with formula helps me get back to myself and makes me a better mom and wife, isn't that what's best?

Maybe my baby just has colic and she will harps out of it eventually...in that case, it doesn't matter what she's eating. Also I hate the breast pump.

This is a random post and something most people probably don't care to read about, but I have lots of time to kill while nursing!
