Room to talk about what?
Did I not state that I wish my son didnt
have to be on formula?
Anyway, I was saying that laura should
continue to breastfeed since she can,
because breastmilk is best.

hey I was trying.....Your baby is just
fine and I think that you did a wonderful
job. He is a beautiful/handsome baby.
My cousin wasn't able to breast feed and
for 3 weeks she starved her baby because
she didnt' knwo that she wasnt' producing
milk. Now that is bad. You kay are
awsome.
Love you right back.

We're back! We're back! Whew!
Alyvia is 23 inches long, and 11 pounds 6
ounces. She's in the 10th percentile for
height and 15th for weight. Her doctor
was extremely pleased with her progress
(she rolled her over to listen to her
lungs from her back, and .Alyvia
immediately lifted her chest off of the
table on her hands!) and said that, apart
from being a small baby, she's perfectly
healthy and very strong!
She said that I can start giving her rice
cereal sometime in the next two months
whenever I feel comfortable starting, and
that there's no rush. We got her second
round of shots out of the way (i cried
again ) and
now .Alyvia is sleeping it off.
I'm so glad this is over. We don't go
back until .February!

needs are being met!

February?!?!
Well maybe because .Oni has a couple of
medical issues, or has had, that they see
her every month. If she's sick, then a
couple times a week.
You lucky lucky dog!!
She hasn't gotten any shohts in the past 2
months, it's just her well bab visits!
I'm glad she was showing off for her Dr.!!
They like that!!

You have nooo idea how much easier .I'm
breathing now that it's done! I think
.I'm going to start the rice cereal after
the holidays are over. I don't want to
have to mess with it while we're dealing
with company or over at someone else's
house, at least until we're both used to
it!
They gave .Aly one of her vaccines by
mouth again. She spat most of it back
out, but she did get a bit down. She
coughed a lot and fussed, definitely
didn't like that stuff! But I turned
completely around when they stuck her.
I've only heard her ".I'm in pain" cry a
handful of times, and it's horrible. I
started crying and didn't stop until after
she did.
But anyway, she's awake again! I'm going
to try to feed her if she'll agree to eat!

I bet you are a great .Mommy and don't let
anyone tell you differently, if you want
to nurse then nurse as long as your milk
is good, in a way you are lucky having
tiny babas, mine were big! You are lucky
that you can breastfeed, my .Mom and my
.Sister couldn't and I had a difficult
time with it even though I tried, their
was never enough and my dr told me that I
had to quit and gave me shots to dry me
up(ouch), I always had to top off their
tanks and their is some formula that is
really good and they used to love those
biscuits for toddlers they got and they
never choked on them and were good for
teething too, I felt my kids learned to
eat rather young but the dr said it was
okay and they never went hungry so I guess
I was not a bad .Mom either as they are
grown and very healthy now! I have
learned their is no such thing as a
perfect .Mom anyways we all make mistakes
along the way but we do the best we can!
It sounds to me that your .Alyvia is doing
great!

Oni eats by herself! I think that's
awesome for a 7 month old!
She also pulls herself up and will stand
there for a good 2+ mins.
I think weight is a taboo thing to talk
about with baby's!! No baby is going to
be perfect and no 2 babies are going to
add weight the same.
Since .Oni's been born, she's average 2
1/2-3lbs per month. When normally it's
only 27oz that is recommended they
gain...So...Its like whatever!!
As long as they're healthy!!

It's pretty amazing. This time around she
took a 45 minute nap, and woke up feeling
hungry. She's dirtied two diapers since
then, has played in her bouncy, and is all
smiles. No fever, no lethargy, no lack of
appetite! The only evidence of her shots
are her identical .Daffy .Duck bandaids!
Last time she felt so badly afterward.
This is a nice change!

Oni only felt bad for I think 2 or 3
rounds of shots. Other than that, she was
cool.
Now when she her 2 flu shots, I thought
she'd be bad. But, I couldn't tell a
difference!!
I gotta go...She's extreemely mobile in
her walker and pulling down everything!!!!
Trash can, towel, opening cabinets, and
pulling down the cat's food bowl.....Now
is when the weight drops!
Awwww i'm glad .Alyvia is ok, .Laura!!
I'm dreading taking .Jenny for her shots,
I know i'll be a total wreck.
Give .Aly a hug from me for being such a
brave girl!

That is great! Give .Alyvia an extra
treat! All the others too! I just .Love
kids, babas! You are like I used to be
worry over nothing alymiyaki but I really
understand where you are coming from, I
used to worry about what people would say
or think or am I doing this right or
wrong, especially with your 1st baby then
if you knew that something is going around
and your baby sneezes you would worry that
your baby has it, I think it is just being
a .Mommy!

Yes, it's best, yes it's great, and yes,
it's the natural way of things. If it
works for you, and it works for baby then
great, fantastic.
If, for any reason, it's just not working

huge worry and burden for you- then
supliment, or switch, really, the most
important thing for your baby is a happy
mother.
It is no good to baby if mummy is
miserable, stressed, impatient or edgy-no
matter if he's getting all the breastmilk
in the world.
Nobody thrives.
If feeding time is nice and relaxed, mummy
is smiling down at baby, and both can
enjoy the time together, then, really, as
long as there is sufficient nutrient value
in whatever liquid is going in, than baby
will be better off.
Everyone thrives.
Do not let anyone make you feel guilty for
doing the best you can for everyone.

funny, over here its the oppostie. All I
see and hear is doctors handing out
formula cans and suggesting formula to
"supplement" to every breastfeeding
mother.
Makes me sick. We make breastmilk for a
reason.
I see your points. I never meant
breastfeed against your will.
