10 Pounder.

Annalee hit the double digits in weight at her appointment this morning. 10 pounds. This means she's gaining just fine. Even with all her issues, she's doing well. That, my friends, is marvelous. 

The doctor confirmed I need to cut out all dairy. Please send your best non dairy meal recipes and snack ideas. It's no gluten-free, but learning to cook/eat dairy-free is still going to take getting used to. Annalee's two month checkup is in three weeks so we'll see how no dairy helps her and reevaluate if needed at that time. 

The doctor also gave the encouragement to try the chiropractor so we will fork out the dough for that tomorrow. It'll be do worth it if it helps her even a little. I'll be sure to share.

you can do it, friend! it's hard at first, but soon it'll be old hat. my best advice is for dairy-free is to stick to meat, veggie, and grain dinners (best way to do dinner without dairy). we use extra virgin olive oil, salt, and spices for dipping our crusty bread, and that helps replace the fats you miss (and need!) while nursing. for breakfast, i do eggs on toast, and lunch is fruit smoothie with spinach, hemp protein powder, chia seeds, coconut milk, and coconut oil. i try to keep it simple, easy, fast, and still nutritious. hope that helps for eating ideas. xo
