This month’s Baby Squeezins is brought to you by, “Got Milk?” At the Sophia’s one year check up we were given our regular hand out from the doctor that lets us know what to expect and how to proceed with Sophia’s development. One of the bullet points was that we could wean her onto whole milk if I was going to stop or limit breastfeeding. We tried giving Sophia straight whole milk. She, in true Sophia form, didn’t like it so we mixed it with formula since I don’t have any spare breast milk. We started with three ounces of formula with one ounce of whole milk to each bottle for a week, and then went to half formula and half whole milk.
I don’t remember if it was on the doctor’s papers or another place that I read switching to whole milk can cause temporary constipation until the body gets used to it. Well for Sophia it caused Post’s rejected breakfast cereal, Stinky Pebbles. She also had her first two real diaper rashes this month. Her little tokhes* looked like the Japanese flag. Both of the rashes cleared up in two or three days thanks to Lansinoh. No, I didn’t take a picture of that, but you will get to see a very stinky pebble. Taken on the 19th of November with my Nikon D60 for your high-resolution pleasure, I now present to you the little nugget of a Baby Squeezins, the Diaper of the Month.
