re: OT moms, why the reduction in titty feeding?

That's a good schedule. My son started sleeping through the night at around 4 months. He has his nights, but sleeps most nights. Those first three to four months were a nightmare. Before formula, it was literally any time he felt like being up. Could have fed him 20 minutes ago and he was whining. I thjnk feeding soothed his upset stomach. After formula, he'd sleep for his 3 hours a lot more. But he still had his difficulties.

I think it depends on the kid. There are moms who look down on formula moms, because they did the breast thing and feel like everyone should be able to do it. We would have done it if absolutely needed, but it was really getting hard for me to be able to go to work. I'd have to go in late some days. Wife was home with him all day, so I had to take night shift for her to get any rest (still got up to pump). I wasn't sleeping at all. It just reached a point that we turned to formula one night. It was a sample from the hospital. We had success and it helped us a lot. I think my son has had a much more pleasant childhood so far because of it.
