Milo

I never knew drinking milk tea would have such an affect on Oscar.

There was 3 days in a row that I drank milk tea with my breakfast. Those few days was the worst days and nights because Oscar refused to sleep. He would be really tired & sleep in my arms but when I put him down, he would be really unsettled. I got cranky and upset with myself because at first I didn't know why he was behaving the way he did.

Yesterday the same thing happened. All day he refuse to sleep. His eyes were rolling and wide awake. Everytime I put him in his cot with his music, he would cry and cry... he was that that all last night as well.

As I held him tight in my arms last night trying to settle him, I thought, why is he behaving this way? Is it his stomach, did he do a poo? Wind? I thought of everything but I couldn't work it out. Then I realised, I had a big glass of Milo for breakfast. For those that know me, I don't put in teaspoons of Milo, I put in 5-6 tablespoons. I think this is what gave Oscar his energy boost, which caused me to have a sleepless night. I am so tired today. I only had 3 hrs of broken sleep last night.

Lesson learnt : No milo or caffinated drinks for the rest of my breastfeeding period.
