tired. It is totally my own doing, though. I stayed up late playing online last night and only got several hours sleep. As a result, I accomplished very little today. I was planning to trek to the market in Swampscott to buy some things I couldn't find at Market Basket, but the allure of that was nonexistent by midday. The rain continues....
I went to the mother's group at the local hospital today. It is run by a lactation consultant, so I mentioned my difficulties with Ephram being very fussy and screaming his head off most days. I also mentioned the frothy poop thing, and she thought that I must have a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. "Does he choke when you feed him?" "why yes, he does.".
I had read something about that online. The remedy is to feed him from only one side. Well, .. I'm already doing that, so what now? Apparently, giving up dairy can help as well. I'm not really eating any dairy, either. Well, he will grow out of it then. Sigh.
Well, it is good to know that I can probably stop obsessing over what I'm eating. I've had a pretty bland diet these past few days and it hasn't really made a difference.
I'd love to say that, while at the group, I also was sparkling and witty and actually spoke to other mothers. But, I really wasn't. In fact, the sleep deprivation coupled with the apparent lack of social finesse made me feel like crying. So I left early.
I stopped by Marshalls at Liberty Tree to return something that Marty bought and then I came home and ate like I hadn't in days.
