Whole milk

Last week, I picked up a carton of horizons organic whole milk , with the intention of transitioning Natalie.  Exactly how, without ever supplementing with formula, I was lost & had no plan

On 4/12, when Natalie was 1 day into 1 year, she came back from daycare with a 1.5 oz bottle.  I mixed in 1 oz of whole milk & hoped for the best. She refused it, took a nap on daddy, & when she woke up..
I hid, James tried again, and surprisingly she finished it.  When I came out to celebrate, she wanted to nurse & that's our first experience.  

So past 2 days, I've been mixing 4 oz of mommy's milk with 1 oz of whole milk.  She's been finishing all the bottles.  Today, I just mixed 3 oz with 2 oz, & hoping for the best.  My pump supply has been consistently low, & we literally have just 1 frozen.  So this transition is not only working out with the timing of Natalie's birthday, but also what my body is telling us.  

I still nurse at 8pm, later at night, & if that's skipped once while sleeping, then 4th session early morning.  We will slowly be cutting those out, but for now it is what it is
