Our Journey

So when I was pregnant (4th baby) I said I would try breastfeeding again as I have tried with all of them and had no actual long term success. I wanted to see if I could do it with 3 others kids under foot as well. Well soon after my son was born it became very obvious that it wasn't to going to happen so I decided I'd pump and supplement because I've never been able to keep a supply only what I could feed him that day. So for the past 2 months I have been pumping with some supplementing. We have been having some issues with him staying asleep though he's tired, fed, dry and comfy so my husband suggested seeing if he would breast feed right before bed when it's quiet so maybe he's "fuller" and will stay asleep longer. My concern was that he wouldn't latch due to having a bottle for all this time well... I decided to put him to breast today when he was content and right before I knew he'd need to eat again. And to my happy surprise I was wrong! He latched comfortably and quickly then sucked me dry and fell asleep on my boob! I'm hoping we can continue this journey! I have a plan of me feeding him right before he normally eats letting him drink all he wants then giving him a bottle if need be and then pumping what I have left. I'll only be able to do this when my oldest is in school and at night but I think it should work. ❤️ I'm glad that I'm trying this again and not giving up this time! Just had to share as I'm so happy we are getting to do this! 💕
