Completely my taste; even the same name as my daughter's middle name. I love it all ,great job!!

I had my little girl five weeks ago and have been almost exclusively pumping only giving the breast for night time feedings. We only made it through the first week exclusively on the breast. I would have kept at it dispite the pain and how stressful I found it that first week if at her first doctors appointment I hadn't been told that I needed to supplement with formula as she had lost a pound and six ounces since birth. I was heartbroken and felt so worthlesss that I had starved my baby due to my selfish wish to have bragging rights that I had breastfeed her ( how I felt at that time). I'm now having trouble getting her back into breastfeeding because she wants to sleep almost as soon as I put her on and it becomes this four hour long ordeal of me trying to keep her awake and ending in giving her formula or letting her cry until I get the milk
