I have read and am practicing much of the advice Ive read on this thread, just havent had chance to reply. The common theme is support support support. I give that my all. One interesting thing: A surprising theme from your responses has been give her the snacks. From this forum of many athletes I expected more stories of how important proper nutrition was to her and the baby. Well, I guess from recovering from a c-section, pregnancy and feeding a baby...getting the comfort food is more imprtant than focusing solely on nutrition. I know the nutrition is still improtant but, in a funny way, it seems many of the posts stressed keeping her fed no matter what. I liken it to some bonk rides that I have had...it just doesnt matter what the hell you eat....you just want to eat!! I have tempered my expectations and instead of making suggestions or motivating....I just listen and ask what she needs:)
Good for you for listening to us smart womens ;-) seriously, you are good to ask for help and adjust your behavior.
"proper nutrition" is circumstantial! My mom tells me she went through a lot of Oatmeal Creme Pies when I was a newborn. I turned out ok.
maybe she's born with it, maybe it's chlorine
