Sophia drank around 40 ounces of milk today. I have no idea if this is a normal amount or not, but I can tell you it seems like an awful lot to my poor breasts! I can't seem to keep up with how much she wants to eat. For her last feeding I had to give her formula because I just didn't have anything left. I spent around 5 hours pumping and then feeding Sophia today. It's amazing how much time and effort goes into something that seems like it should be so easy. Since Sophia has stopped throwing up after every eating (see earlier posts), meal times have become some of my favorite times of the day. I love curling up with my daughter and seeing how happy and content she is because of me. I wish she'd give my breasts a little chance to rest, but if this is helping her sleep through the night I think I can live with it. (Here's hoping she doesn't decide to start eating more.)
