That girl is cute, cute, cute. I just want to pick that girl up and give her some serious squeezes. Those cheeks are adorable.

She is SO cute, Amanda! I’ve been gone for a week, but have been thinking about you guys. I think you gave it all your best efforts, but in the end what baby wants is usually what baby gets. Great job for continuing to pump. That gets rough. Yes, these babies are stinkers…cute ones.

Leah is so lucky to have you for a mama. Even though I know you are mourning the loss of your breastfeeding relationship, it sounds like the two of you were having a really rough time and now you can both move on and put this all behind you. Don’t let yourself feel guilty, especially since she will continue to thrive on your pumped milk!

Although we don’t know each other, I wanted to leave you some encouragement, too. I can tell from your posts what a dedicated and devoted mother you are, and it sounds like you’ve done everything you can to handle this challenge in the best way. My first child refused to nurse from the very beginning, so I exclusively pumped for five and a half months. It wasn’t fun by any means, but I knew I was giving her the best nutrition I could and making the situation work for us. And please, whatever you do, don’t allow anyone to make you feel guilty! I had many people tell me that I just didn’t try hard enough to get her to nurse, but they didn’t go through my experience. Only you know what is best for you and your child. Keep praying and asking for strength!

So, so, so sorry! I am just catching up on your blog and am feeling so sad for all that you have been going through. I can relate in a sort of way, and it is completely heartbreaking. You are an amazing mother for trying as long and as hard as you did. We totally need a long catch-up. I will call you soon. Love you!
