So its official. Cosette has completely given up nursing.
I've read that its pretty common for your milk supply to diminish due to pregnancy. I tried to hold on as long as possible but every day it was just less and less...she would try to nurse and then just start crying out of frustration. 2 days ago was the last time I've nursed her.
Heartbreaking. Truly. I feel like she really is getting the short end of the stick. But that's life and so we move on.
I spoke with our chiropractor about the formula (he actually makes his own as well and was planning on putting it on the market but the cost was too great) and the only thing he said he would do differently was to use coconut milk/almond milk as the base instead of the barley milk I was making. They are just THAT much more nutrient dense.
So we made our own coconut milk today and it was soooooo super easy. Much easier than almond milk, I think.
And there you have it. I left out the Kale because I forgot so it will be more green in the morning. Waiting onn our cod liver oil shipment so I can add in the dha .... other than that...we are formula making machines! Haha
