I am in limbo right now as to what to do next. Called every single pediatrician in town none of which are accepting new patients. I found a family practice in Mowequa that would take them after I fill out new patient packets and wait about two weeks for approval. I have been giving Paige formula which really makes her irritable and fussy. I want my sweet, smiley, cuddly, nursing, happy baby back. That being said I am continuing to give formula through her weight check this morning to keep her out of the hospital. In the meantime I am so incredibly uncomfortable from not nursing that I think I am beginning to get Mastitis. A couple days ago I was ready to throw in the towel and say formula it is and just let her finish out my freezer stock, but in the middle of the night for two incredibly long nights the only thing that has comforted her was nursing. I do feel like that is what finally allowed her to go yesterday. She still is screaming and crying which is frustrating because I was hoping once she went those signs would disappear. Formula does not seem to be agreeing with her. Since nursing is a supply and demand thing I feel like my supply is going to diminish and until we see a good doctor , I don't think I want to dry up completely.
