Breastfeeding with tubular breast?

i have gone through hell to continue to breast feed. this is my third child. with my first two i half breastfeed and half formula feed. they were fine with switching back and forth. i have tubular breast. they are spread far apart and are almost all aureola, and are long tuberous shaped. i saw a lactating consultant with my first and all they told me was to pump after each feeding and keep trying. it was to hard to do and i was only 17 when i went trough it the first time. now i am very determined to breastfeed. for the first 3 weeks i was trying to breastfeed exclusively but my daughter was not gaining any weight so i started half and half again. after i had a surgery complication and was hospitalized for 2 weeks and i pumped and dumped every 3 hours i knew i want to keep at it. i got about 24- 26 oz a day while pumping.. my baby was 2 1/2 months at the time. she is now 3 1/2 months and for about 2 weeks she has been refusing the bottle when i go to work and leave her with my mom she fights her to not take the bottle ( she loves the breast) i even got her breast like nipples.. but she only wants to breastfeed. yesterday i breastfeed her all day and she seems content.. no crying other then right before she goes to sleep in the late evening. she is having many wet diapers but no poop yet (she pooped 2 times the day before yesterday). even though i have been maybe 70% breastfeeding her for the last 2 weeks. i have been taking fenugreek 4 capsules 3 times a day trying to increase my milk and i think its helping a lot. im just worried that she isn't getting enough.. since she refused the bottle.. and i don't know how much milk im making now.. could she be ok since she seems happy and normal even on breast alone? or should i continue to fight her to get her a bottle or two a day? need support.. please

Heartbroken...Please help?

I think y'all should just talk about it. If it was only once and won't do it again then you shouldn't just throw 4 years away like that. I really do hope things work out for both of you guys :)

Why are my lips constanly dry?

See your doctor. Very dry lips can be caused by lack of vitamins, dehydration, or even diabetes. It is very important that you find out asap.

I need help with my horse!!!?

I got a new horse a couple weeks ago. When we went to the girls house to pick him up he was awesome, I climbed on his back, bareback and he was fine...we got him home and wanted to ride with a saddle and bridle and stuff, well he tacked up well but when we tried to get on him he stepped away and wouldn't let us near his side, finnally we had my cousin(who is tall) lean on him and put a little preasure on his back to see if that was his problem, and he reared up!! So we thought maybe he was just just nervous from the move. We put him in the pasture and let him calm down, I went out there and just brushed him and stuff, then my mom held him and I jumped on his back bareback again, he was fine! So we thought everything was ok. But latley he is being a frickin jerk, when I try and get him to groom him he holds his head WAY high, he pushes me all over, and he just troughs a fit. So when my mom was trying to worm him he threw his head and so she made him walk in cirlces, then she tried again and he reared again!!! (We didn't. Get a chance to worm him cause he kept rearing) then yesterday I got him out to brush him, I was tieing him to the hitching post and he reared when I was right there by his shoulder!!! Now I am a beginner rider, so I don't know what to do, I jumped back and when he came down I tied him up and made him stand there till I was down brushing him and all that stuff, he was troughing a fit the whole time. Know we do have 2 mares, who wer. Whinnying when he reared up at the hitching post, but they wernt any of the opther times.... whay is he rearing, andhow do I stop him, its dangerouns amd scary, I can't hit him on his poll cause I'm not on him, and I can't just work him after he rears cause he won't let us on him! What's his problem, I mean he's a gelding and when we seperate him from our mare he acts like a stud, and when we do stuff with him and the mares still in the pasture he is just a jerk, and no matter what if you try and make him do something he doesn't want to he rears, what's wrong with him and hpw do I stop his rearing( and I'm not flipping him over backwards so don't even suggest it) thank you!

Why in the limited video clip of the siege on the compound was there a bunch of fires blazing?

but then when the pictures of it in the daytime came out, there was nothing burned and nothing to burn?

Are Neegro's Semetic or Hametic? Consider This!?

About the time of Moses, Part of Egypt was ruled by "Shepherd Kings" who were relatively fair-skinned. Moses might not have stood out, even if he was not Hamitic.

Socom 4 US Navy Seals or Dungeon Siege 3?

Hey! i'm a HUGE fan of both game series and i'm wondering which one should i get? i'm not thinking of buying both but if i can find em cheap then i guess i will, i'm an air ventilation cleaner..... :) How different are they to previous titles of the series? (eg. Socom 1,2,3 & DS 1,2). Can you give your honest opinion about the game if you've played it.
