I've been having a lot of questions about breastfeeding latley since my pediatrician told me my baby was to fat and that he was getting the extra fat from breastmilk because he was nursing to much. SHe wasn't fond of the co-sleeping idea and thought that was where he was getting the extra calories (he is seven and half months and thirty pounds). He nurses all the time but it doesn't bother me. It actually helps me out since I am going to school. WHile he nurses I get to do my homework. He loves to nurse I love to feed him. I actually am so fond of nursing I had my boyfriend take a couple of pictures of me and the baby nursing yesterday.
But now i am feeling guilty for nursing him so much. I decided to reduce the fat in my diet today and am on an official diet. I weigh 155 and am 5'11. I thought if I reduced my calorie intake it would help lower the baby's calorie intake. I eat a lot, lot of food but I am goiing to cut it down.
I was a huge baby. We have a lot of huge baby's in my family but not this big. I know he's fat but I was hoping he would grow out of it. The pediatrician told me to let him cry himself to sleep at his bedtime instead of putting him to sleep with a nursing setion. Well that is not going to happen. But what do I do with my fat buddha baby? SHould I ween him off some of his nursing setions even though we both enjoy them. Well I should go just woke up from his nap. Oh yah, I've been taking him outside a lot more to discurage nursing so much.
