Breastfeeding- I am terrified that I am going to fail at what I'm supposed to be naturally good at. I didn't breastfeed my son. So I have no idea what to do. The biggest things?? What should my diet be like to help my milk flow? How often should I pump just to save up milk? How frequesntly should I nurse??
Vaccines- I never knew the dangers of vaccines with boogey. But the more I read the more freaked out I get. I worry that I shouldn't get her vaccinated when she gets here. I worry that I risked my sons life by following the doctors schedule with his vaccines. He never had a reaction but I'm still worried. What is yalls opinions???
With all of the worries though there have been some good things that have happened this week... like getting her nursery started... We are going with a shabby chic theme. Want to see some of my inspiration of course you do!!!
Our nursery won't be quite as lavish as some of the images but its what inspired me.
oh and of course a belly pic...

Don't worry about breastfeeding - just eat like you do while your pregnant (ie. when you feel hungry, eat), and you'll be fine. I was super-hungry while breastfeeding, so your body will tell you if you need to eat more. And you just nurse when they are hungry, and your milk supply will adjust to your baby's needs. It really doesn't have to be stressful. If you want to build up a milk stash in the freezer, you can pump after your baby eats (that's what I did for the first month, and I got a nice stash built up).
ReplyDeleteFor Wyatt we re following an alternate vaccine schedule - he'll get all the recommended vaccines, they'll just be spread out a bit. he only gets 2 usually every month, as opposed to four or five. I think it's the Dr. Sear's alternate schedule, in case you want to check it out. I like it, because I know exactly what vaccines make him fussy, because there are only 2 culprits, as opposed to four or five!
