Say No to Whole Milk

No whole milk for a while. Sean will eat foods that have it mixed in, but not drink the milk by itself. He really doesn't like the taste, so we'll try again maybe next month. In my worry-mom mode (which is practically all the time), I was worried that Sean would never take any milk and lack calcium and get rickets (oh, catastrophe!), but I checked out other sources of calcium. Sean eats yogurt daily, and he likes salmon, tofu, and broccoli. Also, he is nursing at least four times a day. So I feel a little better.

As for our daycare transition, Sean is getting used to the other babies and taking longer naps. Also, the teacher said that today he's starting to drink more water. Whew! I guess it will just take some time...

First Day of Daycare

Sean had his first day of daycare today. Yeah, there were a few tears all around, but we survived. Today was a weird mix of freedom and feeling naked at the same time. Sean had trouble sleeping today because of the noises from the other babies, and he drank very little water. The teachers think he's having trouble sleeping because he doesn't have any milk, so tomorrow I'm going to send him off with both whole milk and breastmilk. But I think he's really holding out for Mommy. We've just been praying for this to be an easy transition for Sean.
