Today is DS's second birthday and we have reached our goal of two years! It was not always smooth sailing, DS had a rough start and spent the first 36 hours of life in the Special Care Nursery, I had to pump because I couldn't hold him to feed him. At 2 months DS was diagnosed with MSPI, so we went dairy/soy free until 10 months when that cleared. At 11 months I started to have symptoms of thrush and battled that for months until we realized it couldn't possibly be thrush since it wasn't really improving at all. After a milk culture supported that my symptoms did not seem to be caused by bacteria or yeast, the doctor recommended a full elimination diet. I chose to do a partial and eliminated eggs, milk and peanuts. After doing that the problems I experienced cleared and it became evident I had an intolerance to dairy. But, we made it! Thank you to this board for all of your support, particularly when DS had MSPI, I think I would have starved to death had the sweet, supportive girls on here not been so helpful in directing me to the resources they had.
i've been seeing you in july '15. how are you doing nursing while pregnant?
You and I have the same EDD Going pretty well actually. Just nursing once to twice a day now. I had to drop to 2 nursing sessions to get pregnant. A little sore, supply dipping, but I feel in better shape than when I was nursing DD and pregnant. With DD we weaned when I was 10w and I was more than ready. I don't feel the same push with DS, but I still plan to wean well before the new baby comes, I have no interest in tandem nursing.
Way to go!! My son was MSPI for 2 years and I also nursed him that entire time. It is SO hard, but also so rewarding. I was very ready to be done and eat real food again, but I really miss our nursing relationship sometimes.
