But it has been 4 months. Having Kael has shown me one thing... motherhood is my only life for the next 20 years. No more ideations of writing a book or showering daily or peeing alone. Kael has been diagnosed with silent aspiration. Milk was going into his longs as he ate. Some times it would make him cough, etc - most times not. I was breastfeeding. I have been pumping and thickening the milk. I hate pumping. Ipumped for over 7 months with Drew (he had a cleft lip and palate). I started loosing my milk. I am already loosing my milk. kael is almost 4 months old. When am I supposed to pump? He seems to do better with breastmilk than formula, so I continue.
On a related note, I want to put in a plug for Simply Thick. If you are thickening breastmilk, this is your #1 choice. Some times one product is better than another. Simply Thick is far superior to ant thing else we have tried.
On a less related note, chiropractors for colic = "miracle cure". I would say it is at least worth a consult for any baby with colic.
So, this blog has become less the optimal tool for helping moms of special needs kids and more the rantings and musings of a tired, crazy mom with ,ore special needs experience than she would like! Thank you, anyone who is still reading!
