Frustration

This weaning process is not so great. Not only do I get engorged from not nursing as much, but Lydia refuses to take a bottle or sippy cup or anything before her afternoon nap. Okay, so I'm only nursing twice a day and it was prefered that it would be during the morning and night. Well, little miss priss will only take milk in any container in the morning when she's happiest, so rather than struggle with her like I have been these last two days, I've just spaced out her feedings to accomodate her naps.

I feel that I shouldn't be doing this because it might spoil her even more, but will "forcing" her to take the "bottle" mess with her emotionally? I know it's messing with me...all this milk that I'd pumped every day for the last two months is now going to waste. Why? Lydia won't take it when I've prepared it and it goes bad in an hour. Why won't she take it? Because over time, the frozen, stored milk starts tasting sour due to the fat content; not that it's spoiled, but it just doesn't taste like fresh milk. WAHHH!! I was so proud that I was able to breastfeed Lydia this long and now it's nipping me in the bud because I didn't get her accustomed to the "bottle" enough. :( All you preggers out there, please learn from my mistakes!
