More Breastfeeding Stories

All I wanted in the first 3-4 months of my sons life was someone to call and ask breastfeeding questions to. All my friends bottle fed there babies and there experiences were soooo different. Their babies slept thru the night at 4 months, their babies only ate every 4 hours, it was so different. They had the freedom to drink, eat whatever they wanted, and to leave the baby whenever they chose. I had to give up spicy food, tomatoe sauce etc etc so it didn't upset my babies tummy, oh boy it was tough, and my love of wine. Oh how I had missed the nights of watching a good movie with a good dinner and a glass of wine (or two). I know the one glass doesn't hurt but it's the second or third glass that I missed from time to time. I chose to only breastfeed my child and I know this was a personal choice, but this limited the amount of time I could spend away from my child. I never really liked to pump bc I didn't like my husband giving him his bottle, maybe I'm posessive but this was our connection! lol The baby depended on me and me solely for food, I loved that! My husband and I went on our first date night out when the baby was approx. 10 months old. I wouldn't want this any other way mind you, and this date night only happened after we showered him and I fed him and put him to sleep.
