Nursing mom needing validation
This is my first post so please be kind. I currently have a 9 month old who is EBF and refuses to take a bottle. We have tried everything and had some brief success before he changed his mind. He doesn't sleep through the night, sometimes waking only once or twice and other nights 4+ times. I also have a 3yo who EBF (who did at least take a bottle), but that is to say I am pretty much not leaving the house anytime after 8pm.
I am totally fine with this and know it's just a phase, the problem is my friends (and sometimes husband) who continue to invite me to concerts that start at 9pm or say I need to rip off the bandaid and my baby will be forced to take a bottle. I know that he wouldn't starve, and I don't stress much during the day knowing he can fill up some on whatever food he decides to eat, and might get a little milk from a sippy cup. However, night time is different and I know I will stress more that he is up and inconsolable (which I also don't want to ask my 70yo mom to have to endure).
Am I being crazy? I feel like people just don't get it.
