Of course, just when you get one phase figured out, he'll be onto the next, but that's part of the fun :-)Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163283732112508901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-48683785568015568372011-10-31T18:00:33.733+01:002011-10-31T18:00:33.733+01:00I just want to hold him myself!!!

Yes, trust your gut...you can always continue to check in with your midwife, newer books and trusted online sources, but YOU are the wonderful mom....and you will learn his signals more and more each day....<br />xo<br />Joannthe REAL girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274364426380668407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-10636743458092901622011-10-30T03:56:37.565+01:002011-10-30T03:56:37.565+01:00Rafael looks healthy and happy and definitely thri...Rafael looks healthy and happy and definitely thriving. Love all your pictures, as always they are stunning. I love the ones of Raffi of course and the toad stools. The trees are so beautiful. We got 3-4 inches of snow today so don't know if our Autumn has been cut short or will resume when snow melts. Very weird weather. <br />And yes, yay for naked nursing! Glad it's helping.Sandra Gillandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784812302381420497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-73561458760030318862011-10-30T02:45:50.996+02:002011-10-30T02:45:50.996+02:00What a lovely Autumn Dawn.

They need to be looked at analytically and judged, but also respected and nurtured.<br />There is no question that breastfeeding would be best if you can find a way to persevere without putting Rafael's and your health at risk. The odds are in your favour!<br />And yay for naked nursing!<br />Best wishesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09337016058758202863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-32779541219332967622011-10-30T00:10:39.245+02:002011-10-30T00:10:39.245+02:00Bravaaaa, I'm so happy for you, I'm a gran...Bravaaaa, I'm so happy for you, I'm a grandmother now and after never being sure I was a good or the best mother I could be, the same happens with my being a good nonna, but when children smile at you everything seems to be perfect<br /><br />madaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-12997629384962619492011-10-29T21:11:13.142+02:002011-10-29T21:11:13.142+02:00I am so happy to hear that Raffi is gaining and do...I am so happy to hear that Raffi is gaining and doing well.

Price Foundation, and is an MD with an expertise in traditional nutrition. Perhaps he could help you discover the best option for feeding Raffi.<br /><br />Also, there are recipes in Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon for nutrient dense traditional baby formula.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />AnniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2933344524775641198.post-80856603854722691932011-10-29T01:01:48.743+02:002011-10-29T01:01:48.743+02:00This post has me smiling and teary eyed at the sam...This post has me smiling and teary eyed at the same time.
