=( You in no way sound like a bad mommy. Just over worked and over tired. -big hugz-

[caitilin]

thank you so much.

First take a deep breath!

Whew! That's a lot. First in case you haven't done it already put a box of Arm N Hammer in your fridge. It works miracles

Re: First take a deep breath!

thank you. yes I already have a box of baking soda in there. I still can't get rid of the damn smell.

I have heard from a bunch of people that this refusing to nurse thing is not uncommon...it just sucks.

and no, I can't turn down the responsibility at work. I have already turned down so much that there isn't much of my job left.

I hope you find some kind of balance in your life so you feel better and less stressed

Also, I have PPD and you should probably seek help. They usually like to perscribe meds and Zoloft works well for most women. With no ill effect on the child for BF moms. I took it when I was BF my daughter and it helped a great deal. This time around (kinda scary, huh?) I am taking Paxil and it actually has increased my milk supply. That is one of its little known side effects.
I hope you feel better soon. Cry as much as you need to it helps, too! I wish I could cry sometimes.

oh gosh I don't need to increase my milk supply. I generally get 30 oz out of just 3 pumpings in a day. I have half a chest freezer that now ONLY has breastmilk. That is one of the few things that is going well.

[silverfairy2]

That is awesome. I'm jealous!

I don't know if this has been mentined but if you start having problems with supply or because your bub is to impatient to wait for let down have you looked into SNS? that would help keep up your supply
