We are finally getting used to each other.  I found out she does not like spicy food in her breast milk.  Unfortunately she could not voice it to me in plain language, but in cries and sleepless nights I got the hint.  I have also finished two books on breastfeeding, boy was I unprepared!  Everything I eat she is going to be eating so I have to eat right, and certain foods upset her stomach.  Chocolate and even cow’s milk I have to look out for. 

Sleeping together works better for us for now.  She sleeps more soundly next to me, some say it is ok and taboo like it was before.  Sleeping together is recommended for nursing moms, so the baby can just latch on when they are hungry.  Amazingly, she does that, but I have to help her, but there are no crying periods at 2am anymore. 

 Gotto go now…there is a crying period going on!

Well it finally happened, I was able to sleep for more than two hours straight!  Oh the little things we take for granted when we are childless… As some of you may know, I picked up that nasty MRSA in my c-section wound and was prescribed some heavy duty antibiotics.  Well since I am nursing Samy Lou, she had been so irritible after every feed.  I was getting so worried nursing her, she was not wanting to eat.  But since finishing the 10-day prescription, there is such a marked improvement in her eating and sleeping.  As for the infection…it is all cleared up and the wound has finally healed!

Her eyes are finally opening up and they are very big and shiny!  I will figure out how to upload pics soon.  Thanks for all the replies and lets keep this going!  Samy says thanks for all the gifts and well wishes!
