Today we are on day 4 of no nursing! Jakey is doing very well. I am making sure he's drinking one of his cups of whole milk every day (it has a little chocolate syrup in it though). No news on the job yet, but they sent Jeremy an e-mail and said he should be hearing from them this week...

Wow! I'm working on making it to twice a day... and then slowly dropping them off after that.

One alternative to chocolate syrup that's a little healthier is molasses milk. My dad used to put a spoon full of molasses in my milk to help increase my iron intake and it was really tasty. I still like it to this day.

Still praying about job!

Molasses huh? I might just try that. He didn't like the texture of whole milk and would spit it out, but when I put the syrup in there he drank it right up.

Did you try it?

No I haven't tried it yet, but I am supposed to go grocery shopping today and I'm gonna pick some up. Jeremy said that "they" say a person could live off of only molasses. It has all the nutrition you'd need to live (my husband is full of nerdy facts like that) lol

Good to know!! Jeremy's handy to have around. :)

Well Cat, he likes it! He drank that milk so fast. I am gonna try putting the molasses in his oatmeal in the mornings instead of sugar. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Awesome!! I'll have to try it with Ruthie too if she won't eat something she doesn't like... :)
