I have totally stopped breastfeeding now, and it seems Deo has been "edgy" since then. Like its seems he gets frustrated alot now and screams like a mad man. I don't know if it is related though. I feel more on edge lately too, I am wondering if the hormone changes are affecting me, say like women get post pardum depression after they have the baby, I wonder if im getting some post pardum after breastfeeding problem. It could be a mix of hormone changes and missing that time with Deo, it was a very relaxing time when we nursed. And maybe feeling bad for him that I took it away and that he is no longer my baby....
I am going to the doctor to ask these things soon, and the doctor for him to ask about his nutrition now because I am lucky if I get get him to drink 2 ounces a day of other milk. I know other kids drink like 16 ounces a day of milk or something. i have him taking vitamins which are so nasty and stinky (they are liquid) and he hates them. He is eating a lot more now though, so thats good. But no vegetables! I made a stew today and I am hoping he will eat some veggies that are in there because they have spices on them. He likes his food spiced, and he will absolutely not eat any veggies plain or even in cheese. He did like the veggies once in the Indian restaurant which had curry and other spices on them.
He is doing better at the day care, he still cries when I drop him off but he is okay and playing when I come back. He is usually there with Kai so thats familiar for him too. But Kai beats on him, like grabs his face and his neck and things. I hope the ladies in there pay attention to it because I am always pulling kai off him when we are all hanging out. Deo is bigger than him and could push him right over but Deo is a lover not a fighter.
He slept 3 nights through the night this week so far. I couldn't believe it. I didnt think Deo would ever sleep through the night. On the nights he woke up i gave him a yogurt and let him sleep in my bed. He sleeps in his own room now every night, we read books then I lay him down in his portable crib and he cries a little and goes to sleep.
We took the boys swimming the other day but when we got there we found out the pool's heater was broken. It was way too cold to go in. Deo was all ready in his floating suit as you can see by the pics. Kai thought it was funny when I put that thing on Deo.
