Josh fed Hunter his first bottle yesterday! He loved it. It was so cute to see him gazing into Josh's eyes as he chugged down his milk. I was worried at first that he would not take a bottle since he has been breastfeeding for the past 4 weeks, but there were no problems.
As some of you know, I have come very close to fainting about 6 times in the past week and ended up in the ER last wednesday night. The doctors came to no conclution as to what may be causing this. So, Josh and I took it upon ourselves to wean Hunter off of the breast and start feeding him formula. I think my body just does not have enough energy to produce the calories that Hunter is needing. This was a very hard decision for us to make because breast feeding was very important to us. However, there is no sense in me breastfeeding Hunter if I am going to be dizzy all the time and blacking out.
It has now been over 24 hours since I have stopped breastfeeding and I am feeling a bit better already.
