Formula :(

I've decided (sadly) that as, when I return to work next week I'll now be doing two days instead of one, Freya's going to have to have some formula. I could've expressed enough for working one day during the week but not for two.

We went out last night after the kids had gone to bed but Freya has a cold so I thought she might wake up so bought a couple of cartons of formula just in case. Well, she woke up, was given a bottle and guzled 6 of the 7oz in an instant! I'm pleased she took the bottle well and liked the formula but there was also a part of me that was really sad! I haven't done it all completely myself anymore and she'd cope alright without me (I want her to need me, lol!!).

I'm pleased really. I've gotten over that hurdle. For now she'll only have it the days I'm working as I'm so enjoying feeding her myself still. Freya's obviously still loving it too. I was hoping to nurse her for a year and not bother buying expensive formula at all but to just go straight on to cows milk when she's 12 months (I'll probably get to a year and STILL want to continue feedin her!!). We'll see how she goes.
