And the Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to another episode of Paleum Gcensored. I'm trying to be a little quiet over here just because I share a wall with my daughter and she just went down for a nap. Is that exciting or do you care about that?

Of course not, but so is life.

We've been going through it,

going through it over here, poor Avery, teething, then sleep regression, then who knows

what else. But something I did figure out, okay get this, I'm pretty sure she's not getting enough food.

Now when I pump, I'm making the correct amount of what in theory she needs but then when I give her a

bottle after I've already fed her she drinks the whole bottle so this girl is

wanting more food.

Okay, and she's been so fussy and then when we gave her like

double the amount of food that she normally drinks.

Yeah, she's so happy. She's completely different baby. So not only has she been teething, not only has she been going through a sleep progression, but she's starving. I've been starving my child as a person who is food obsessed and only cares about food and

literally makes her gourmet meals from six months of age have been starving my

child. Who knew? Who knew? You really figure things out as a mom rather quickly and then sometimes

not quickly at all, if that makes sense. It doesn't but you're normally just

floundering. Being a new parent no wonder people are like oh it's so easy the

second time around because being a new parent is like you are a fish

who's out of water and you're just flopping and you're just hoping somebody picks you up and puts you back in the water.

And I say that because you're hoping somebody has the answer, but nobody has the answer.

And when you're that flopping fish and no one else is around, you better make your way to the

mother-fucking water. That was a fun analogy, right? I think we've made it to

the water. Feeding her more, boom, water, happier sleeper, happier through the day, easier for us.

Oh man, being a parent's hard, but I'm figuring it out. Hard is was such an interesting word to me before I had a child because everybody was like being a parent is so hard.
