LOOK AT MY NEW SIGGY!
Livi's been mostly FF since about 4 weeks old and only breast feeding at night and early morning. But now that my water allergy is semi-manageable I've been able to breast feed more often.
I wasn't even trying to get her back to breast because I figured at 5 months old there's really no point. It'll never happen. But Livi actually got HERSELF off formula! She just wouldn't take a bottle anymore and would only nurse. So I didn't fight it. And now my milk supply is back up and she's only taking a bottle if she's having trouble sleeping (cause I'll admit the formula does make her sleep better) or if I'm out, which isn't very often.
I didn't want to say anything because I figured it was just a phase but it's been over a month now and she isn't showing any signs of going back.
And for those of you who know the drama that goes on between my mom and I over feeding Livi, I'm proud to say she's backed off for the most part. It seems that we unspokenly compromised because since I've been breast feeding she's been feeding Livi her breakfast (homemade fruit cereal! ) And sometimes her dinner. I suppose with my mom that's about as good as it gets, really. I am not a morning person at all, so I will admit that it's nice having someone else feed Livi while I feed myself.
I meant to make this short, but I'm a bit over the moon that I can finally breast feed my baby girl
