Breast feeding! Lets try this again!

When I had Sam (seven years ago) I made the decision to Breastfeed. Not only did I know how good it was for my baby but I was just starting to become thrifty and knew that Breast milk costed nothing! As a single woman who was on Public assistance I was encouraged by WIC to breastfeed and it was easy to start! Sam had a good latch and I was a high yield milk producer! I was recovering from a C-section and Living with my Mother so it was easy to spend lots of time with baby and keep on it.
 I noticed early on Sam spit up  A LOT and Having had a problem with breastmilk my self I was quick to find out the reason! Sam was gaining weight and was not having any Breastfeeding issues but the first thing they did was switch him to formula, by the time I found out my 4 month Had GURD (a weak muscle on top of his stomach didn't close properly so much of what he ate spilled right back out) My baby had already been on formula for weeks and had to have supplemental juice to help with the constipation this caused.

Sam's Doctor now is a different Doctor at the practice he comes from Columbia and is currently the Doctor that goes to the hospital I am slated to deliver at, he recommends (as well as several other Doctors) giving babies with GURD a little cereal mixed with breastmilk to weight the milk down.

I am more hopeful going into breastfeeding this time. I am a supporter of those who use formula but I am very very excited and supported by my husband who is glad not to have to shell out for cans and cans of formula.

I have gotten an awesome Nursing Pillow and I learned the nursing laws in the state! I am not completely comfortable with the idea of flopping my titties out for all to see but I plan on getting some awesome nursing tanks!

I have found some great DIY ideas and am going to be trying to do some cool cheap DIYS on tank tops and maybe one of those covers apron things!

So check back and I will be updating my Breastfeeding journey with baby number 2
