It can only get better (vent)

So Alice is one of those lovely babies that is up 2-4 times a night (usually 4). Last night marked the start of 4 month wakefulness where she was awake from 2 until 4:30am plus I had already been up twice with her. Yeah!

Then this morning I had a home visit with family and children services. She has torticollis and a misshapen head. She needs refferal to a major children's hospital to the neurological department. She most likely will need a helmet. Definetly has to start physio therapy (which they assured me will involve many tears for Alice and probably me) and we will have home visits from family and children services to play therapy.

And to top it all off my husband leaves on Sunday for 2 months so I'm going to have to deal with all this on my own.

I"m going out shopping and I'm going to make a butt load of lactaion cookies so I can eat cookie dough and still feel like I'm doing something good for Alice by boosting my milk supply.

Thanks for listening/reading.

    {{HUGS}} I'm sorry you have to deal with all of this especially without your H around. You can always vent here especially about things that are so important. Poor Alice and mommy. Eat as much cookie dough as necessary too!

    Sorry to hear that I fill for you my husband has been gone and my little one doesn't sleep much at all.

    I have a quick question, WHAT type of cookie is that?  Do you buy them or make them?

    They help increase the amount you lactate. The oats, brewer's yeast and flax are known to help increase your supply. I've heard suggestions of having up to 4 a day but it may be a little fattening (I"m ok with that). I used this site https://www.drmomma.org/2010/08/lactation-cookies-recipe-increasing.html for the recipie. I made the frist one last night and it was good. I hope to make the other kind today.

    I think you could buy them online somewhere.
