Today Ben is 6-weeks old. And while that is important - it's not NEARLY as important as the fact that today is my LAST DAY of breastfeeding, HOORAY!
Ben is really great at latching on - but truth is, I'm just not making a lot. I have been feeding him for every feeding and then he still eats another 3-4 ounces of formula from a bottle. I figure I'm providing him maybe 1/3 of his nourishment at this point.
I wanted to go the full 6 weeks because that's what I did for Hannah and I felt like I needed to keep it equal. Although, I'm certain he got way more since he latched better. Regardless, 6 weeks is up today and we will be moving to all formula and not looking back. I can't wait!
When we switched Hannah to all formula she started sleeping 7-8 hours at night. Will we get that lucky with Ben? I hope so!
