formula.

well after almost a month of terrible sleeping, we might be back on track-- at least for now. :) it's kind of bittersweet for me b/c it took giving her formula. we had tried lots of different things for the last few weeks and nothing was really making a difference. we had a few nights of being up for HOURS in the middle of the night. not good for finley and not good for us either. i thought maybe she was hungry b/c she was getting up so much in the middle of the night so i tried to feed her more during the day, but that wasn't really doing it. then i talked to a couple people who suggested formula. not really what i wanted to do. i love that for a year (or just about) i've been the one giving her all the nutrition she needs. now that sounds kind of selfish, but it's true. after a really bad night and talking to erin & mom we decided to give it a try. the first night was a little better, but we didn't really give her that much. first i didn't know how she would do with it and second i was hoping to not have to give her that much. i don't think there's anything wrong with formula, it just wasn't what i had in mind. on the other hand i certainly didn't want fin to be hungry and poor baby was super tired. she wasn't sleeping at night OR taking naps so we had one overtired (and apparently hungry) baby. so now she gets some formula and breastmilk and doing much better. we keep playing with how much and how often, but it's all going much smoother. i'm good with it and we're all much better rested now. here's hoping it stays on the right track!
