I had better get started on these. My goal is to read them and post review's on what I found to be helpful read's and which one's were not. Sort of as a guide to mommy's to be and new mommy's who like me want to read everything out there on being a new mom. Anything else I should add to my list?

That's all for today. I'm off to do some major grocery shopping. This should be very entertaining watching me fill a cart full of groceries that has lovebug's carseat in it. But before I go here is the latest pic of lovebug doing some tummy time last night

Mommy Advice- Breastfeeding Question

Hello all you mommies out there!

I am only breastfeeding with lovebug and so far it is going great.
I caught some sort of bug this week and she seems to be affected by it. I'm going to call the dr tomm to get her an appt since she's been throwing up right after eating poor thing

So for the last few days I haven't been able to keep much food down and it got me concerned about the lack of nutrients she may or may not be getting. That also led me to think about healthy eating in general when breastfeeding.

With the hubs gone I'm not eating the most balanced meals although I try. I know I could do better. Are there any books or resources out there that provide info on what to eat while breastfeeding

And another question. I haven't started pumping yet due to my pump breaking and having to exchange it. Anyway did you allow yourself any type of alcoholic beverage while breastfeeding? Some friends have said one glass of beer or wine will help milk production. I'm not sure if that's true and have stayed away from any alcoholic beverage but a glass of wine sounds so good lately. Is it better to pump and dump directly after? How long does the alcohol stay in your system? There's so much I don't know!

Thanks for all your help
