Guenna’s milk

Today I started Guenna on a raw goat milk mixture Here's the recipe: 1/3 raw goats milk (or organic, minimally processed goats milk) 1/3 distilled water 1/3 freshly extracted carrot juice with a little celery juice in it (about 2/3 carrot and 1/3 celery) Combine these ingredients and use as soon as possible, about 4 days. I made up about 3 quarts worth and since Guenna wont go through 3 quarts in 4 days I put about a third in the fridge with a couple ready made bottles and the rest in the freezer, frozen in pre-portioned ziplock baggies. I will thaw them in the fridge and heat the cold mixture in the bottle in hot water. She had her first bottle tonight and she like it. It's a little extra work but she's worth it. Going to start the  barley grass tomorrow, still hoping that will help. But I was talking to my midwife and she said it's pretty normal for your milk to start tapering off after your first trimester but to keep nursing her as long as I can because she is getting a lot of vitamins that she wont get from the goat's milk mixture, even if she is only getting a little bit of breast milk. After I had made the milk tonight I figured out that I am probably only paying about $2.50 a quart for this milk mixture, which is much better than the $4.00 for only goat's milk. The carrot juice/celery juice is supposed to help the baby break down the milk better and as well it is very nutrious. It's kind of funny feeding my baby a light orange milk in a bottle, I'm sure when we are out in public people will wonder what it is :) I had a midwife appointment tonight and I wrote an entry about it in my pregnancy journal.
