~Salt (lots of sodium supplemented all day [about 1/4+ teaspoon], in juice and food)
sodium chloride is not regulated well in the body of a CFer

~Hugs and Kisses (one million daily!)
lots of love goes a long way!

ReplyDeleteMy stepdaughter had NEVER seen someone breastfeeding until I had Morgan! Now she also pretends to nurse her dolls. It makes me so proud to know that I was the one to introduce her to something so special.
ReplyDeletelove it!!
ReplyDeletewhen my son had his first visit with the speech therapist, she gave him a baby doll with a bottle sitting nearby and told him that the baby was hungry. she frowned a bit that he did not want to give the baby the bottle, so i interjected and suggested that she tell him that the baby needed milk. she did so and her face lit up in understanding as my son brought the baby doll to me and positioned it to nurse. <3
