great post! yes, i think expecting first-time moms need to have supports/resources in place before baby shows up to make sure they’ll have someone to go to for help if BF’ing is difficult. i was fortunate and haven’t had trouble w/my 3 mo old. i like that you also brought up making baby food… many moms don’t know how easy it can be! i am looking forward to making for my son and am glad i’ll know exactly what’s in his baby food!

I really want to breast feed, I hope I can. Both my sisters were not really successful and gave up after a short time. I also plan to make my own baby food from fresh organic food. I don’t eat organic myself but I will buy it for my baby. I’ll look into getting a Mill, I didn’t know there was a difference between that and a blender.

Lol, it also doesn’t fill your washer with raisins… I need to go clean that up. I hope you get everything sorted out and things get easier for you.

Right now we are working under the assumption of food allergies, Multiple Food Protein Intolerance and FPIES. Food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome being the most difficult since it’s a reaction which can’t be tested for like a true allergy.
Thrush for a year — you poor thing. I had a hard time nursing my son in the beginning it was so painful. I’m glad I worked through it since he also has a lot of allergies and BM was all he lived on until 20 months.
Besides store blueberry baby food doesn’t give you the fun purple poop like home made.

Hi Shaylene,
I’m sorry you had to deal with such a difficult time feeding your daughter! I also have had doctors (and many acquaintances) react with surprise that I would be willing to nurse my daughter through a solid year of painful thrush–which is nothing compared to what you have been through–but what else can I do but what’s best for her if it is humanly possible? I’m more than happy to do that job. What kinds of sensitivities are you dealing with, if you don’t mind me asking? I have a friend whose daughter has multiple food allergies, and it looks pretty tough.

As a mother of one child who nursed until he was 2 and another who was weaned to amino acid formula at 4 months I agree with you. It was so backwards for me to wrap my head around the idea that formula could actually be better for my daughter than breast milk. When I’d gotten down to 5 foods and she still reacted and she’d had bloody poops for MONTHS I knew I had to put her before my desire to nurse.

Funny enough because she has so many allergies cloth diapering and making her baby food from scratch has been the best choice. I love making her food and knowing exactly what she reacts from.

I actually have fun making my own baby food and washing her cloth diapers and knowing I’m doing my best. Her doctors are actually shocked I was willing to switch to cloth and make her food. I was willing to switch her to formula so this is nothing.
