I feel like a terrible mom!

I'm on vacation with my husband's family and we so busy sightseeing I forgot to BF my son I fed him when he woke at 6:45 and didn't feed him again until 4:30! He never complained through the day (he doesn't have alot of interest in BFing anymore except morning and bedtime), but usually I make a point to get a couple more feeds in. I'm worried it's going to mess up my milk supply, which I'v been struggling with lately anyways. I offered him all evening, but he refused except for his bedtime feed at 7pm.

Don't feel bad hun, I'm sure it has happened to lots of other moms I wait until Kayleigh tells me she is hungry and I'm sure it would happen to me too Kayleigh still wants boobie every 2-3 hours, but she isn't eating much of anything else yet. She is a picky little lady! She will eat my food, but nothing just for her, even if it's the same thing LOL She seems to love yogurt though Again, don't worry hun, if Kayleigh wasn't asking and I was busy it would probably slip my mind too.

I've been having supply issues the past few days and I think it's just from my return of AF on the 30th... thanks to some lovely bnb ladies information I wouldn't think one day would do much though, but I'm no pro at this lol. Maybe pump a few times in the next few days and offer the breast as much as you can to help? Not sure what you have already tried... but good luck!!

Your LO is so cute btw

Thanks. I can try and pump a bit, but it's hard to find time and privacy on vacation. We'll be home in a couple days and then I can do some super pumping to get my supply back (I hope!)

If Andrew is 8 months old, your supply is probably pretty flexible. It is amazing what variations you'll be fine with!

You're not a terrible mom atall, i'm sure he'd have let you know if he was hungry so don't be hard on yourself x
