Okay, I'm obviously a little sleep-deprived and it's showing. I forgot to mention in the last post WHY the dr. told us to slow down Ruby's eating. It's not because she has gained too much weight. Nobody is at all concerned about her weight - it's not an issue at all. He gave us this advice because Ruby was vomiting after feedings a few times. She did this after really long feedings. I was feeling like she may be getting too much food for her little tummy, but I didn't know how to figure out how much was the right amount. This is why her dr. suggested burping her every 10-15 minutes or so to see if she wants more or not. So, I'm not feeding her any less often, just sometimes (and only when Ruby decides it, of course) a little bit shorter.
Hopefully all of my breastfeeding friends will be a little less worried now. We love the fact that Ruby eats as well as she does and is getting a little chubby!
About Me
- Megan
- I live in Oregon, but recently came from Florida, where I grew up. I love having seasons and mountains to watch here. I am married to the gorgeous and multi-talented John and am Mama to baby Ruby. I stay home with her rather than teaching young children in school as I used to do. Now I find myself having much more time and energy to explore my creative side that was always dormant until the summer months when teaching. I will share my adventures in mothering, knitting, baking, reading, and the products of all of the time that has been used up on the internet. Besides that, I spend my time walking in sun or in rain, practicing yoga, organizing a monthly craft show and otherwise procrastinating so I don’t have time to clean.
