So, I still don’t claim to know much about this whole thing, however, I know that one of the important aspects of breastfeeding is making sure that I get enough protein so that Little Chompy gets enough protein to grow big and smart and strong.
So, in the last two weeks I’ve tried to make an effort to eat food with a lot of protein during the “veggie-xperiment” as I’m calling it. The nice thing about the research is that I found out that I love food with protein in it naturally. I always thought that I was a carb girl because I loved the grains/breads a lot. However, these also have a high protein content. Interesting :)
