I...I didn't mean any offense by my suggestion. I just don't want you or her to suffer due to her allergy...if you're fine with giving up stuff, then that's your choice. As long as she seems to be okay with almost-totally-dairy free, than that's fine for her. I meant the formula as a supplement, for those days Mommy wants to binge on Mommy foods, without causing Ava tummy upset.<br /><br />I only suggested it as an alternative not just because you want to eat what you want to eat, but also because it offers you some freedom from guilt from one yogurt pretzel or one small latte.<br /><br />It is very hard being on a restrictive diet...I was on one the last half of my pregnancy and it makes you depressed after awhile, no matter how worthwhile the restriction is...my restriction was for my life and for Marianne's, and I still got depressed sometimes, trying to find things I could eat to satisfy the cravings.<br /><br />So please, don't take offense at my comment. I only meant to offer you a way to have some Mommy-foods without any guilt, but if you're happy about the arrangement, then that's what you ought to be doing.Xarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153088513567525516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-27800287361679213642010-05-30T13:18:04.347-05:002010-05-30T13:18:04.347-05:00Have you tried the organic isle in the grocery sto...Have you tried the organic isle in the grocery store/trader joe's for vegan chocolate and other foods?

I do believe that breastmilk is the...Good for you!! I do believe that breastmilk is the best thing for babies, especially in the first 6 months. I made a comment earlier asking whether or not you were considering stopping, and I was only wondering if that was an option for you. I hope you didn't take it any other way. I think it's great that you are able and willing to make the necessary sacrifices in order to continue breastfeeding. I also LOVE nursing Jack (and I'm pretty sure he's a sucker for it too-haha) and would do whatever I could to continue. I'm having a bit of an issue with pumping enough for him for daycare, but so far, so good!! I am now 'okay' with the idea of giving him half formula in his bottles if needed, but I'm trying hard to not have to do that. I've said it before- Ava is a lucky little girl!! <br /><br />Cute pics of her in the exersaucer too!!Rene'https://www.blogger.com/profile/08762023093830971485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406123004301272716.post-14087771131327962232010-05-29T23:04:58.638-05:002010-05-29T23:04:58.638-05:00I so love nursing P laying down.
