[ - ] DB 4 months old who is breastfeeding barely drinks at daycare. Its been 3 weeks now at daycare and she still resists the bottle! she drinks at most 3 oz up to 8 oz in 9 hr time frame. She doesn't cry for milk either when she gets home in the evening. Just wakes up at night about every 2 to 3 hrs to feed. Is this unusual for bf baby? I can only pump out about 3 oz every 3 hrs on both breast so I am guessing that is about how much she eats. She doesn't always want both breast either.

It sounds like she has turned her night into her daytime so that she can continue BFing. I have a friend whose baby also refused formula at daycare, and so they actually started giving the DB mild yogurt instead of formula. But her DB was 6 MO at the time. Maybe try another formula? (Also, if she is gaining weight, she is getting enough BM. The amount you pump is NOT necessarily the amount she's getting herself, usually it's less than what DB gets while nursing.) [ Reply | More

This is awful. You are going through a phase. You WILL snap out of it. You are the most powerful actor here in terms of taking steps toward improving your life. Can you adopt a cat or a dog ASAP? Can you start taking lessons to learn a language or a musical instrument? Please don't isolate yourself - you need to be around other living creatures, not just in the workplace. I'm about half your age and sink into a depression when I am alone for too long! Age has nothing to do with it; there are many others who occasionally find themselves in the same boat.

You sound clinically depressed. Have you tried medication? I know a lot of people are against it, but it has truly saved me. A few months ago I was like you - feeling like my life has no meaning, I have no DH/DCs and very sad/anxious about it, no driving passions, no job that I love - etc. I felt extremely hopeless, and had trouble motivating to do anything to make my situation better - be it something small, like paint my apartment, to trying to figure out what exactly I could do about my life, and dealing with the fact that it has not turned out how I wanted. I isolated myself from friends and family, and pretty much holed up in my apartment (except to run - luckily I still was motivated to do that). I was hesitant to take meds, because they way I saw it, why WOULDN'T I be depressed and miserable and wanting to end it all - look at my pathetic life, ANYONE would feel the way I do! I had tried medication in the past, but it never seemed to work. I finally went to a new psychiatrist and got on the right medication, and it has made all the difference in the world. I still have the same issues in my life - medication alone can't fix that, obviously - but I feel less hopeful, and am able to recognize all the good things I DO have in my life. But more importantly, I am starting to be able to take proactive steps to try and figure out what I want/need to do to make my life fulfilling. Still have a long way to go, but at least now I have hope. [ Reply | More
