1. She gave me the green light to start solid foods. So fun! So far, he has tried rice cereal and bananas. He always looks confused when the spoon first enters his mouth, but then the lip smacking starts shortly thereafter.
2. She told me I need to eat more calories (okay, and drink more water too, but the eat more calories part is more fun). This is to boost my milk supply. I told her that I feel like all I do is snack all day long, but apparently, it's still not enough. That's all I needed to hear to encourage me to buy a box of chocolate chip cookies at the grocery store yesterday. And that box may or may not be half-gone already. I can neither confirm nor deny.
3. She told me to drink wine! I'm not kidding. This was our convo:
Dr: You're having a glass of wine at night, right?
Me: Um, no. I didn't think I was supposed to since I'm breastfeeding.
Dr: Oh, please! Have a glass of wine, have a margarita. We used to tell women it would help them with their let-down back in the day.
So, in summary, I should get my baby fat, get myself fat, and drink wine?
Well, okay...if she insists.
Now if this solid food stuff really does help his sleeping, love won't be a strong enough word to describe my feelings for this woman.

I think I like your Dr.!
That is awesome! So fun that you're starting solids with Camden and I hope that it helps his sleep a lot for your sake! And a prescription to eat more? Can't complain about that!!!
