Random Monday
So it seems that baby S is a little lactose intolerant. I found this out awhile back, but it, like everything else, took time to really know for sure. Before our big trip to the NW, I asked my mom if we should try soy formula. NO! was her emphatic response, and even though I still don't know why she was so strong-minded, I decided to listen to her for once. Now, my mom is here for a visit, and she was here less than 24 hours when she decided we should talk to the doctor about soy formula. So it goes.
Baby S has been taking soy formula for several days now, and she seems to be doing well on it. Her appetite has increased, and she's able to eat more ounces in a sitting (finally). Now that she's eating formula better, I'm starting to think our time of nursing is truly coming to its logical ending. We're nursing pretty much only in the overnights. I'm not sure how long my body will sustain that kind of thing, but as long as it will, we will. It seems she still likes it, and so do I. But, I'm noticing less of an urgency to pump and/or feed her during the day. But, at this point, I've really mellowed into motherhood, so we'll just have to see where the ride will take us.
On a separate note, does anyone else have a 7 year old who hates to do his homework? I truly hate this age, and its avoiding homework crap. Any strategies, success stories or otherwise are much welcomed.
