Evelyn's eighth month

Evey's 8th month has been difficult on me.  At the beginning on the month I was at the end of my rope with the breast feeding.  I went to the CLSC for support.  Didn't find it there.  Went home, tried looking for support there, didn't find it.  Well, maybe a little.  But not as much as I wanted. Evey won't take a bottle, she won't take formula.  I found out this week, she will drink from a cup, but she is not that successful at it just yet.  She is a booby girl through and through.  So I gave up trying other things for now.  I'll continue with the cup, but my milk is so valuable.  I can't have her pouring it down her bib.  My concern is that she won't be off the booby in time for me to go back to work.  What would I do then?  I guess I'll worry about it then!

Don't worry Susie. She'll figure it all out. I don't know any mother who couldn't go back to work because their child wouldn't get off the boob. You don't have to worry about her weight, as she is eating well. Just try again in another couple of weeks and muddle through. You'll both figure it out.
