Hi Kymmy - awww that's so sweet and I know how you feel. I felt the same knowing I wouldn't be seeing my midwife and OB every week, very sad and felt like the end of a journey that I didn't really want to end. I too want to have another baby, I miss being pregnant still - we will probably start trying again end of 2010, I'll be 37 in June anyway so it's more a matter of giving my body time to get over the c-section etc. Plus I want to enjoy Amelia for a while before I do it again.
Hi Tania - welcome back and sounds like you had a fabulous Christmas! Good on you for giving up BF, that's hard to do I imagine, I've been doing a bit of both, trying to BF only during the day but I do comp FF feeds here and there and sometimes FF alone in the evening feeds, I just can't give Amelia enough, she seems to be going through a growth spurt at the moment (she's 4 weeks old now) so I don't want her to go hungry. She settles so much better with a full tummy, especially from the FF's! I will continue to BF as much as I can for as long as I can but I have come to terms with using FF, I'm not worried about it anymore, no need to be!
Hi Natty - good on you for sticking with BF'ing, it's really tough to do and I never realised how much time it takes up, Amelia is feeding longer these days so I feel like all I do is sit on the couch and have my boob out ha ha. Again though I will continue to do it for as long as I can but FF'ing sometimes is more convenient when out and about, or my boobs are out of milk so to speak ha ha! I've found it hard to express lately as we've been out so much, can't exactly sit at the Christmas dinner table with the pump hanging off you LOL! Talking of which, I might give it a go now, although it's probably too late and I should save it for Amelia's next feed now!
