*insert foot in mouth*

Just an FYI - this is a post all about breastfeeding, boobs, and all that good stuff.  If you don't care to read about it or aren't interested, then just skip this post...I won't be offended.  ;-)

Remember how I said the other day how well breastfeeding has been going for Isabella and me?  And, remember how much I said I LOVED it??  Well, apparently I jinxed myself...and I have NO idea what to do now.  :-(

Over the past 3 days, Isabella has decided that my boobs are the devil.  But, they're not the devil ALL the time, just to clarify.  She still loves them first thing in the morning (when they're super full from not feeding all night), and during the first 2-3 minutes of nursing on each side.  After that, it's like my milk is on fire or something.  She screams bloody murder.  It's killing me.  She screams.  I cry.  It's absolutely heartbreaking.  I don't know what to do.

And, the most frustrating thing, is that as soon as I break down and end up giving her a bottle of BM (because I can't stand to listen to my poor baby scream anymore), she sucks it down like it's the best thing EVER.  But, if I try and put her back on my boob after she's calmed down a bit...enter the screaming again.  It's the worst feeling. 

So, I've been reading up and Googling like crazy, trying to find a solution for this problem, that literally came out of nowhere...

• Reflux - I really don't think this is the issue (but, I could be completely wrong.)  The main reason...she takes a bottle perfectly fine and is happy and full afterwards with no problems.  She doesn't spit up much at all...which I know isn't really a sign, and babies can have reflux without spitting up at all.  She has no problem laying flat on her back after she's done eating.  She doesn't arch her back like she's in pain or anything.  

• Over-active supply - That is, my milk is coming out too fast and strong for Bella, and she can't handle it.  This isn't the problem either.  I've tried different positions while feeding her to see if this was the issue, and she screamed no matter what.  

• Under-active supply - I'm thinking this might be the problem.  She does perfectly fine when my milk first comes out, because it always comes out at a good/fast pace when she first starts eating.  Then, after the first 2-3 minutes, it starts to slow down a bit and she has to work a little harder to get it out...hence the screaming, b/c it's pissing her off and she doesn't want to work for it.  

 Why is this happening all of a sudden after a great 9 weeks of feeding?  I have NO idea.  That's why this is so upsetting and frustrating to me.  Like I said before...I really do love breastfeeding Bella, and I love that bond between just the two of us.  I really don't want to have to give that up.  Trust me, I know that giving her a bottle of BM is just as good for her, and that as long as she's happy, healthy, and gaining weight, that's all that matters.  So, I guess I'm being selfish in saying that I don't want to do that.  I don't want her to hate my boobs, and I want to keep that special bond just between the two of us.

Anyways...so this has been my life the past couple of days.  I've been so upset and crying a lot...especially since I've also been stressing about going back to work and sending her to daycare.  Not a good combination...for mom or for baby. 

Have any of you ladies out there experienced something similar?  Any tips/advice??  I would REALLY  appreciate it!!
