The Joys and Trials of Breastfeeding (Take 2)

I can tell that I wrote the previous post on an "easy breastfeeding day". The next day we hit a growth spurt.

During growth spurts Riley eats and eats and eats. I can not keep up. A cow could not keep up.

During this time I still love feeding her and its still a special bonding time, but its also trying in that I sometimes feel like a failure as a mom. I usually end up supplementing with formula, because its impossible for me to give her enough milk. If she is hungry, she is in a bad mood. She gets that from me!

Luckily they usually only last about a week for us and then things seem to go back to normal. Whatever that is!
