Post Baby Questions & Answers From a Veteran

1 How long does it take to loose weight?

After you have the baby you will shed the weight of the baby,"water" ie amneotic fluid and the placenta. In the weeks to come you will sweat off the water weight and of course there will be some fat too loose and it may come off on its own or you may need to work at it.

2 Can I tan and breastfeed?

 If you keep your breast's spray tan free then I don't see a problem.

3 Do you really have to wait 6 weeks to have sex?

YES!!! Having sex without being examined is foolish, you need to make sure your healed down there and even if you didn't have any stitches your still at risk for an infection.

4 Is it ok to let a baby cry?

NO, they need YOU. Most doctors don't recommend the Ferber method until they are 6 months old and thats so they learn to fall asleep on there own.

5 Can I add cereal to my babies milk?

I've heard of horror stories were the baby gets servery constipated, they end up hospitalized because there little tummy's aren't meant to consume it at such a young age so even if my doctor recommended it I would not do so.

6 Whats it like having a preemie?

Scary, need I say more? My blog posts describe what its really like.

Anyways my son is up so thats the end of this post!
