I'm way too tired.
I might as well start by saying that I know it's okay for my daughter to be on formula. Lots of babies are raised on formula and they grow up fine.
Breastfeeding is starting to go not so well. I don't seem to be producing enough milk like I was before. That could be because my dad was feeding her SO much formula when he bottle feeds her while I'm at work. She gets somewhere around 5 ounces with me, from what I can tell from pumping most of the time. Grandpa gives her 8 ounces every time. She doesn't always eat it but that makes me think that maybe she gets frustrated when she doesn't get as full from Mommy. As evident by the fact that she's been fussing while nursing recently. Like she swings her arm (the one that's on top), whines and unlatches, arches her back, cries a little and then latches back on.
So I feel like a bad mommy.
I know I'm not but it still sucks.
No matter how many times I tell myself it's okay.... it still fees like it's not.
We just had a bad day I guess.
