He doesn't nurse anymore. It's no longer his favorite thing in the world. It's probably not even in the top ten. And when he does deign to nurse, he finds that there's not the milk there once was. I pump when I can but I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. He screamed his head off for 30 minutes today and would take neither boob nor bottle but when I gave him half a teething biscuit he grinned and gummed it merrily.
I am sad.
Clearly we will start solids now. This week has been graham crackers, teething biscuits, avocado. Today I bought a few other things to try, too.
Pressure's on for baby #2 which amuses me. Nothing suits me more than being a Mom. It's the first time in my life I haven't felt like a fake. It's the first time in my life I know exactly what I should be and want to be doing. It's not for everyone, but it's for me.
