The word of the day is FRUSTRATION.
Yeah, I know. I'm totally doing this to myself. I've opted to stay on course with this breastfeeding plan, but BBZ is not making it easy. Not sure if it has to do with the milk not coming out at jet speed, his gas issues, or what. But he wants nothing to do with me sometimes. During the night, which was actually a good one last night only waking up to feed at 1:30am and 5am, he nurses perfectly fine. And I know it's not me because he has milk spilling out his cheeks when he stops and smiles at me. Other times, he even wants nothing to do with the bottle, spitting out milk left and right. Ugh.
I finally found myself saying outloud,
"WHY CAN'T YOU BE MORE LIKE YOUR BROTHER AND JUST EAT!"
I'm sure it's just the way he is, or at least I hope there is nothing anatomically or physically wrong with him. Unfortunately though it won't be the last time he hears that phrase.

Stop beating yourself up! You must be doing something right - he weighs 17 lbs!! A and Z are different as day & night or sand and dirt! you can't compare them :)
I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to try and apply logic to parenting. It certainly doesn't work in many other human situations.
Is it possible he has reflux issues?
