To start out with - what a cute little baby bum, huh? LOL - He cracks me up. Just trying to climb into the stroller. Love that boy!
On a different note - and not to get to personal and all... and I don't even know how many people read this blog..
BUT -
I need some advice. Just a quick question to all you nursing mothers out there...
How tired do you get from nursing? As soon as you stop, do you feel a burst of energy running through your veins?
And for those of you who don't "nurse" you can tell me what you think... if you did... or whatever.
Thanks :)
I nursed Nicole for 4 months then my milk started slowing down. My doctor asked me if I wanted him to give me pills to get it going again and I said "no thanks":) I know some mothers love it and feel like it's bonding time and I did enjoy if for a little while but at four months I was done! I just wanted to be normal again:) I don't see myseft nursing for a year. Formula is expensive (I was paying $26 a can until my SIL told me to just buy parents choice which is half the price) but I love the convinence and that Chad could help me feed.
ReplyDeleteI nursed Hy for just over a year and it was draining. I literally gained 10 pounds within 3 weeks after quitting nursing (bad eating habits during nursing didn't help). Em is 8 months and I daily consider what to do. I think it is GREAT for the child- but my children get teeth early and I eat constantly. It's a personal decision and no one can make it for you...
ReplyDeleteMy baby is 6 months old, and I'm still nursing him. He has 3 teeth now so sometimes we he bites down it can be a little uncomfortable, but it's better for him, and cheaper, so I keep doing it. I get really tired after nursing if I don't drink enough water during the day, or eat lots of junk food. I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for, but there are my two cents.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't say I got a burst of energy but I do have more energy. And I eat less which is nice for the budget, a little anyway.
ReplyDeleteI heard once that a baby get 90% of the benefit of nursing in the first 6 months. And, isn't Sam about 11 months. You could probaby start milk soon. I started at 11 months with my kids and they're turing out fine :)
