I love it and hate it all at once and the challenge is to find that middle ground. It's true that it is beautiful and wonderful and fun. But it's also true that it's messy and exhausting and frustrating.<BR/><BR/>So glad I found you, us mama's gotta stick together!America's Next Top Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11578592832886423091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954614188345510339.post-39937550384916452972009-02-13T13:57:00.000-07:002009-02-13T13:57:00.000-07:00I came over from dirty socks & pizza.

We had weekly (sometimes biweekly) visits with a lactation consultant and I had tons of family support. It was still just real hard.Serahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614955566762617374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954614188345510339.post-62873588394662781412009-02-13T06:08:00.000-07:002009-02-13T06:08:00.000-07:00i think i may be in love with you. sera, this is a...i think i may be in love with you. sera, this is a post every new mom, old mom, soon to be mom, MAN, should read. <BR/><BR/>i have known for a while that you are a young mom handling REAL struggles with such grace and honesty, but this post is amazing. <BR/><BR/>i hope you never, ever, ever change. lil' miss kaylee is going to be one heck of a woman.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07896271627723253157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954614188345510339.post-7706122916298052802009-02-12T23:56:00.000-07:002009-02-12T23:56:00.000-07:00I came over from the first post linky.

When we had our son, L, my wife, had a very hard time breast feeding and we had to go to formula on medical advice.<BR/><BR/>Turned out there was a family history of milk insufficiency going back at least two generations the just "wasn't talked about" in her family.<BR/><BR/>That was nearly twenty years ago and all is fine - so there is hope if you ignore the nattering nabobs of nipple negativism (my name for all the spurious advice givers like myself).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027973862125764895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954614188345510339.post-40798285610342960642009-02-12T22:50:00.000-07:002009-02-12T22:50:00.000-07:00I adore you.

We have even more in common.<BR/><BR/>Difficulty breastfeeding? Check (I lasted 6 weeks)<BR/>Postpartum depression?

She has at random times, so I know she can, but it's still up 2-3 times/night on average, and it's really frustrating.<BR/><BR/>It's also extremely frustrating to get that advice from other people (like you said - especially the ones who aren't moms) because for some reason, they seem to think that they have the magic cure to help your situation. So not helpful.Serahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614955566762617374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954614188345510339.post-65223939532518377642008-11-10T07:58:00.000-07:002008-11-10T07:58:00.000-07:00Sera, I really like what you wrote.

You are a great writer.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to say that I sometimes feel a lot of judgment being passed by others because my baby doesn't sleep through the night at 6 months. I am trying myself to accept this as normal, but it doesn't help when everyone else- usually NOT mothers, but fathers, friends, cousins, wonders what is wrong and offers all sorts of useless advice. *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Thanks Sera for this blog...Cristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12904649037744079837noreply@blogger.com
