[quote=Cloud]My dreams of perfect motherhood started when I was a kid. A mere child of 8 or so years old and I started cutting pictures out of catalogues and imagining all the things I would do with my own little family. Well... I've done some of those things. But like you, had low milk supply and only nursed for 6 months with each child. Kid 1 was so underweight she looks like a victim of famine in her baby pics until she started formula and totally filled out. I wouldn't worry one bit about getting a stroller or a swing- those things are so harmless! Using those tools to get a few extra winks of sleep is totally ok. Try to throw out all those ideals you had. Seriously. Once you let go of them you'll be able to see what a good job you're doing and maybe start to enjoy the experience.[/quote]
