What Would You Do??
If you know me at all, you know that I suffer from headaches and migraines on a daily basis. It is absolute misery!! Since I'm breastfeeding I am at a standstill with any treatments. I spoke with my Pediatrician today. He suggested that I stop breastfeeding and take care of myself. He said that Riley has gotten the benefits of breastfeeding for the last 6 1/2 months and I should just start giving him formula. Noooooo!! Also, if you know me at all, you know that I do not like giving my babies formula. I pride myself in the fact that Riley has never had a drop of formula. And I would like it to stay that way! What would you do if you were me?? Suffer through it for the next 6 months or call 6 1/2 months a success and get treatment? I don't know what to do!! This sweet face deserves to have breastmilk for at least a year!! AHHH!

That is seriously a hard one. I have no idea. I know the pride you feel from nursing.
Lincoln I nursed for 4 months and then he was on formula because I couldn't handle the pumping at work, etc. I gave up too easily.
Dallin I nursed exclusively for 15 months he has never had formula. It saved me a lot of money and I loved it, but........
they are both happy smart, thriving little boys so I don't feel bad about either choice.
I'm sorry you are faced with this. If I were you i would make a choice and pray about it and see how you feel. Go from there. I know whichever choice you make Riley will be just as happy and sweet and in love with you.
