Preemies can have issues with their "guts" being able to work properly, so we have to wait. I'm cool with that though! LOL! The Neonatologist also mentioned not rushing her and that breast milk is good for her right now. Man, at the rate LO is eating these days, I wonder how I'm going to keep up with her demand for milk though! LOL! I have been told that it's all about supply and demand and that I should be able to produce enough for her needs, but the kid is only 6 months old (3.5 months corrected) and is downing a 12 oz bottle of breast milk in one go (when Hubby feeds her).

Like maybe s...I think they need solids before that. Like maybe starting soon, at around 6 months. Ask your pediatrician. LO might be on a different schedule due to her 'adjusted age'. I had to start Maya on rice cereal at 4 months or so, because producing enough milk was wearing me out. I was getting bloody noses and light headed. Bad. But she did great, and has survived to tell the tale. ;)<br /><br />And yeah, the smell gets a LOT worse, esp as their diet varies into meats and veggies.

I've got a pretty sensitive nose, and I think her poop is stinky already! LOL! OMG...so not looking forward to stinkier poop! I wonder if I could strictly breastfeed her for a year? LOL! Or do they NEED solids in their first year?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251507898309184477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-62571663097584961432009-05-31T15:21:10.560-04:002009-05-31T15:21:10.560-04:00Veronica:

I only ask because you say the poop smells...seems like things got a LOT stinkier after Maya started solids.<br /><br />I never knew how sweet it could be to curl up for a cuddle and a nap with your baby...just cuddled with my 13 year old today, though no nap.<br /><br />I'm so glad you can be there full time for her, and that she is doing so well, and that her daddy is getting to give her a bottle every day. I don't know the current thought, but back in the late 90s when Maya was a baby, they said one or two bottles a day was a great idea, so baby would be used to the idea...in case you get sick, or want to go out without her, or whatever the reason might be. When I went back to work, I think Ted gave her 3 bottles a day while I was gone, and then when I stopped working and was home for a few more months, she easily went back to mostly breastfeeding. Nice to teach them to be adaptable.<br /><br />Before I became a mom, I never realized how much I could love a little person, and how the offer of going out with friends after work would make me think, "Um, but what if I'm not home before she goes to bed?", and then making excuses to get home to kiss and cuddle her one last time before sleepys. My friends without kids didn't understand...until they had kids of their own.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-7859733156477730532009-05-30T22:31:08.951-04:002009-05-30T22:31:08.951-04:00Wow, that time has just flown.Wow, that time has just flown.Veronicahttp://somedaywewillsleep.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-28026482838434997742009-05-30T22:21:54.149-04:002009-05-30T22:21:54.149-04:00T:
