So... Annie has continued to show great strides in her eating habits and thus weight gain. We are pretty much exclusively breastfeeding now (YAY!) and pumping here and there. I still have formula left over, which will always be good for a 'just in case' situation.
I have always kept a journal of what time she ate, how much, which side, did she get a 'top up' with expressed milk or formula, poop, pee, etc. Now, she has graduated. I feel confident that we have everything under control, and I will forgo her journal! What a big step for us!
But now, I am going to journal what I eat. Not for myself but for her. As far as my weight, I am feeling pretty good, as it slowly but surely is shedding off. Lots of walks, getting out and about, and hopefully soon yoga again. The reason I am going to journal is to see what i eat. Annie has had some pretty bad gas and runny stools, and upset tummy/spit ups. I would like to see if it is something I am eating.
- I don't think its dairy ( the formula had dairy in it and she seemed to be fine)
- it could be the chocolate/sugar from Halloween. I am a chocolate feen so I hope its not that
- I have only been having one cup of coffee in the morning. I didn't drink coffee during pregnancy so maybe shes not used to it? I don't know if I can give this up?!
- tuna- I love tuna and didn't eat it during pregnancy either, and have been having tuna sandwiched lately- no more now while I test this stuff out.
- I have had the odd 'dark beer' (Guiness) to help my milk flow- I think it worked- but not going to continue in case this it as well- same thing- no beer during pregnancy?!
