Logan and Taylor still tire easily when they breastfeed, so I still breastfeed them for 10-15 minutes at each feeding then supplement with a bottle (filled with pumped breast milk).
Last night, after I had breastfed him, I put Taylor down on his Boppy pillow so that I could get his bottle ready. When I got back to him after a few minutes, he was asleep. Thinking that if he wasn't completely full, he'd wake me up before his normal 1 a.m. feeding, I woke him up to feed him some more. He resisted it for at least 10 minutes, but I kept insisting, so he gave in and ate a little. After 20 minutes, he had only eaten 1 oz., so I kept insisting until he had eaten 3 oz. He took him over an hour, but he did it.
I should know by now that if he resists eating, it usually means that he doesn't feel good or is simply not hungry. While I was burping him, OF COURSE, he spit up A LOT. So instead of spending 15 minutes feeding him until he was obviously full, I ended up spending close to two hours trying to get him to eat more, changing his pajamas, holding him until he felt better, and cleaning up the mess. Talk about getting more sleep, huh? I should really know... since it's not the first time it has happened... hopefully this was the last...
P.S. As of Oct. 10, I AM BACK TO MY PRE-PREGNANCY WEIGHT!

i have lots of the moments and more to come I am sure. Good job getting back to your weight...I know especially with twins that feels good. I am still working on it. :)
I know I should be so happy for you with you P.S. news, but at the moment I think I hate you, or really just myself.
