My mom left last week and my grandma is helping me out with Veer. As much as I miss having my mom around, it's nice to have my grandma. She's awesome with Veer (as was my mom). She talks to him and he listens. I really need to start video taping this because I am sure one day he will appreciate having this time with his great grandma recorded.
Small hurdle this week - I am not producing enough breast milk to feed him during all his feedings. This week I had to start supplementing formula. I hate the idea of it because I really wanted to feed him breast milk for at least 3 months. We have his doctor's appointment this week, so I will find out what else I can do. I started taking fenugreek pills. I'm drinking more milk myself and eating more too. Drinking lots of water. Not sure what else I can do. He won't latch on and now is spoiled with the bottle.
The breakout from the allergic reaction are almost all gone. I look like I am about 4 months pregnant. I have outgrown the Belly Bandit and now need a Medium.
Veer started breaking out and now has a lot of baby acne all over his face. It's also growing on his body. The doc said it's normal. She said some babies have it month 1 and some during month 3. There is nothing we can do about it but wait it out. I feel so bad for him b/c I'm not sure if it's uncomfortable. It's red at time and it probably looks worse than it feels. But still...
We moved back home yesterday and Veer immediately fell asleep after both of his feeds. Woohoo!!

Veer is such a cutie.. I love the weekly photos. I have to read how to do it again on Sherry's blog. Yeah what are you suppose to eat breastfeeding? I think I am gonna start to change my diet now too.
ReplyDeletei love love love it. good job!! pics look awesome! Your getting the hang of it! just snuggle him tight and he'll sleep! :) miss my little guy sooo much. And. of course you. :)
ReplyDeleteRach, it was fairly quick once I did the first one. I sent a thanks for inspiration/tutorial email to her and she saw the pics and said they look awesome. Let me know when you learn what we can eat.
ReplyDeleteKavita, you sure you don't want to come live with us?
okay from what i have read/heard you are suppose to eat the same thing you are eating now.. which doesn't help. I am now oatmeal in the morning and light and fit yougurt.. just ear lots of fiber food.. broccoli, cauliflower, lots of veggies, whole grains, fruits, cheese and all the good stuff. no empty calories (which is impossible).
