Monday Message - Baby News!

Our little bundle arrived earlier than planned so this post had to be modified slightly but I would not forget to include a picture! 

Genivee was born at the beginning of World Breastfeeding Week....read the post here.  This was appropriately timed as we began our first breastfeeding adventure together!  There are many steps to take in learning how to properly breastfeed a newborn baby and we ran into more than a few "hiccups" in the first few days. Some of these included....an extended hospital stay, a need for early supplementation, the necessity of the breast pump which led to bottle feeding and then reintroducing breastfeeding as the sole source of Nutrition. The good new is...we made it!

Whether you decide to breastfeed, bottle feed or both,here are some newsworthy tips from Kids Eat Right to help keep your baby happy and healthy in the infancy stage:

Feeding your baby with a bottle? Cleanliness is essential! Your baby's immune system is not fully developed, yet so he or she is very susceptible to foodborne illness. Article Link

Physical activity is important during every stage of life, even infancy. Kids Eat Right Link
