A diet for a new mum
I’m worried Baby Girl is drinking chocolate milk at the moment. She’s fully breastfed, and I’m far from following Daddy T’s January weekday diet. Instead, I’m indulging – indulging in chocolate.
When I’m out pushing the buggy during the day, I end up getting so cold that I practically can’t survive without a hot chocolate. I’m the only one in the family who hasn’t had a cold though, so I’m now convinced my choice of hot drink helps get me through the winter.
But it’s not enough with the one treat. In the evening, I have a different problem. I’m exhausted after the two-hour evening play, bath and feeding session. There’s too long until dinner will be ready, and I don’t have time to prepare a quick snack.
It always seems to make a lot more sense to spend the time cleaning toys, organising the changing bag, sterilising dummies and doing Baby Girl’s laundry. And while I’m doing all this, I eat my milk chocolate.
I just hope it won’t mean we’ll have to add Nesquik to Baby Girl’s milk when she starts drinking from a sippy cup. This was certainly not mentioned as an option on the Starting Solids course I did.
