A One Month old Samy and Me!
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!

Isn’t great when you can sleep through the 2a.m. nursing. I was lucky with Netty though, she loved spicy, spicy! Enjoy sleeping together, before you know it you will be decorating for a little girls room. Hugs and Kisses to all of you. When you can see my blog for our great news. Love you much.
