Please be gentle. I am not disparaging ff'ing in any way.
DS is 9 months old and ebf to date. I go back to work in 2 months and want to try to make the whole thing as gentle and unstressful for all concerned so want to try to get DS used to formula. I want to keep bf'ing morning and evening when I go back.
Anyway, today I gave him a bottle of formula. He wolfed it down. I was relieved and happy initially as we've had issues with him refusing a bottle and a little part of me is pleased that maybe it doesn't all have to come down to me.
The rest of me feels guilty for feeling relieved, funny about him drinking this stuff when before he's only had my milk or water, I suppose sad that my little baby is maybe not so little any more.
Gawd, I sound pathetic. Will I feel better about it tomorrow?
