Coffee, company and formula

I commend all parents who deal or have dealt with a colicky baby. Miss molly has been constipated for a couple of days and she seems so uncomfortable! I wish I could take her pain away. I've tried all remedies and nurse suggestions after callling Ped's office. Nothing! But I have gotten her to relax with baths! She's asleep in my arms and I am happy she is getting rest. I on the other hand am craving coffee (coffee pot is on, its 10:47PM), soda,ice water all at the same time. On the thought of beverages, my little darling is formula fed. I was set on nursing her but it didn't pan out. By the second week I was stressed out and I'm sure that's what caused me to dry up. I had been supplementing with formula since day one. I hate all the negativity I've gotten from formula feeding. I felt horrible I had to admit that I need to give my baby formula because we couldn't latch, then I couldn't produce/pump enough- I didn't need nobody else to pile on the guilt! This being from nurses and all. Family was understanding, thankfully. On another note, my parents were over for dinner. Enjoyed the company. They enjoyed being in the presence of my baby girl. Well, off to hopefully pour myself a HOT cup of coffee and enjoy it HOT! I've made plenty pots of joe and molly thinks its the perfect time to wake up and demand to be held. Stale, cold coffee for me since she's been born.
