Milk hurts iron absorption, BUT--I'm taking my iron pill in the morning and the craving comes at night...so I think I'm good! (I'm supposed to be taking two iron pills a day...but so far have only worked my body tolerance up to one!)<br /><br />Hannah--Thanks for the well wishes! I'm SO hopeful this time and my doctor and I have talked a lot about it. That's awesome that Mark has taken to nursing so well! We had SUCH a rough time with Lucy and had to supplement the entire seven months I even attempted to nurse her. This time around I know what issues we encountered (some were unavoidable like her severe jaundice)--but as for the avoidable ones, I'm trying to be more pro-active to help us get off to a less bumpy start~!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591821091228331634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289606568251286235.post-25070714045288433832011-02-05T12:31:02.349-06:002011-02-05T12:31:02.349-06:00I wish you luck breastfeeding!! You may find that...I wish you luck breastfeeding!! You may find that the second time around is completely different. John and I had a rough beginning, but Mark came out ready to go and we have had a wonderful nursing experience. So wonderful that we will celebrate our two year boob-iversary at the end of this month and I see no true end in sight. :)Grey-Eyed Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233325713601475424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289606568251286235.post-37862705618791632852011-02-05T03:17:04.405-06:002011-02-05T03:17:04.405-06:00Next month! Still blows my mind :)
I usually get ...Next month! Still blows my mind :)<br /><br />I usually get a little crazy with the 'nesting' too. . .though Andy just says it's an excuse to make him help me get things I already wanted done around the house- I remember with Jackson the craziest thing was cleaning out the window wells to the basement- and moving every piece of furniture to vacuum under it. . but really that needs to be done, right? :)<br /><br />I'm a big milk drinker anyway but durring pregnancy it skyrockets! Something about chocolate milk is necessary most nights :) Is it milk that hinders or helps iron absorption? <br /><br />I have total confidence you will make breastfeeding work this time. Sounds like you have lots of reading materials but I have quite a few breastfeeding books if you want to borrow any, just let me know. I didn't read ALL of them, but my fav was The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding- it was super helpful to refrence after Jackson was born. lol. I hope I haven't already told you that a million times :)<br /><br />Can't wait to see your little guy/gal!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698723611573468190noreply@blogger.com
