Ivy:
We just got through a really, really rough spell with you. After the doctor told me that I might need to supplement your feedings with formula, I went home and pumped to check my supply and it was super low! I was so worried you were starving that I tried and tried and tried to force the bottle on you. You would not take it. It was stressful, and hard, and there was very little sleep in our home. I thought I was totally done nursing, but thru some fenugreek and lots of drinking water, my milk came back in!!! Best day ever!! You are a happy girl about that! I loved the way you acted the first time I fed you after not getting nursed for 2 days. You squealed and kicked your legs and were SO SO happy. I love nursing you! I'm glad we're back at it for a little longer. You aren't super cuddly, so that's the best time to snuggle you. You always hold my finger with your hand while you're nursing.
