In addition, I have other children, family, friends and spouse who would really enjoy feeding baby. I would enjoy that, too! I feel like I am missing out on some living that is going on out there as I sit with a baby to breast 8 times/24 hour period. Another minor issue is that I am ready to lose these last few pounds that breastfeeding has required me to hold on to. And, finally, baby is gaining fine, but really slowly. I'm not concerned about his weight per se, but just thought it should be mentioned since it is one of the reasons that is making me lean towards transitioning to formula. My question is: how have you all resolved the conflict of enjoying the experience, yet wanting to quit at the same time?
