I was going to give up my baby for adoption but changed my mind. Now I have a daughter and am slowly discovering the joy (and headache) of being a new mom.

Day 74: Oral fixation phase
Despite my best attempts to stay away from using a pacifier, I finally gave in last week.
Doctors recommend that the pacifier not be introduced until after 6 weeks to avoid nipple confusion.
To get back at me, Rosie has decided to become confused. She has no idea what to do now during feeding sessions.
Also, she keeps trying to shove her entire fist into her mouth. All you hear me screaming is, "HEY! Get that hand out of your mouth!!!"
Ugh. It's only going to get worse.
My sister use to eat sand. I fear the worst.
