Oh no. Just a silly mommy who doesn't listen to wise older Mommas. We've been having a few weight issues so whe've been introducing solids(wanted to exclusively breast feed the firest year) and she's loving it. I was warned about peas by my aunt, so I figured I would mix them with some sweet potatos. Well she loved them but only til they got so far in her. So friday she bit me 4 times while breastfeeding, and the 5th she bit and pulled while laughing. I flicked her bottom lip before I knew what I had done, not hard, she looked at me cried then went on playing 2 seconds later. Well after that she didn't breastfeed all night or yesterday and didn't eat much solid either. I thought she was on a nursing strike because I flicked her. Tyhen her 3 daily poops didn't come and I knew it was the peas. The one poop she did have yesterday was thick and black, usually they eplode nice a gooy all over the diaper. So she hd to work the rest of it out. We went out to the bar where Harliquine was playing for 2 1/2 hours and came home rather happy and ready for bed. Well her had a gurgly stomach and was farting away all night. We sat her up, scrunced her legs as much as possible and pumped her legs up into her belly. She would fall asleep then I would drift off and she would slide out of postion and wake up. Mean while with her not nursing my boobs were eploding so it hurt so bad to have anything touch them. I wanted to pmp before going to bed but H was to drunk to give K(I hurt then at 1:30am) to so I figured I would wait till she fell asleep which never came. So 4:30 I needed to get it out, so H got K and I pumped 6 oz in 10 minutes. She still didn't go to sleep after that though. Around 10:30 am she finally had another thick black poop and since then is nursing and eating again. They should put a warning lable on peas, I have half a mind to sue.

Oh and we love teething tablets here, they work great for so many things and calm her down but they can only do so much. We like to stay as natural as possible and practise some attachment parenting, babywearing, and partial cosleeping.

But anyways I got my happy baby back, only had 2 naps today but that should mean we'll have a great sleep tonight and we get tio sleep in a bit.
