Last night Vaughan slept from 7:45p to 3:30a!!!! woo hooo!!!!!! I am so happy. Hopefully this continues. I am trying to switch over to formula to get this child off my boob and last night just proves that she will do good. I gave her a bottle with 2 oz of formula and 3 oz of breastmilk. She is REALLY attached to me - or them - I should say. This week has been a rollercoaster. She was so incredibly good with me last week but then at Grandma Cyd's on Monday she refused to sleep and was fussy all morning until I came to feed her at noon. She finally did sleep after I nursed her down. WELL that is just making it worse I've decided because at Auntie Shannon's house yesterday Vaughan CRIED ALL DAY! She wouldnt sleep, practically wouldn't eat, just fussed and did the very high pitched PISSED OFF CRY ALL DAY. I didn't call there all day because I honestly didn't want to know unless Shannon called me. I know that if something is really wrong Shannon will call me. Shannon and talked last night and we came up with a plan. I have been wanting to switch to formula anyway so this just gives me more inccentive. Vaughan NEEDS to get off my boobs. I will still pump for her and I will still breastfeed her in the mornings. But, NO MORE nursing to help her fall asleep - which, by the way, I hardly did anymore anyway - and I will give her bottles half formula and half breastmilk. This way I can get her used to not nursing all the time and it will be easier for all of us! I HOPE. Vaughan is the strongest, mentally AND physically, infant I have ever seen in my life. Shannon has also said this so I know it's not just me being the mom. SO, I HOPE to have good news for you next time!
