After you haven't had something for a long time, it's just not the same. Even though it is humid and 90 degrees outside I get cold inside in the air conditioning, so I thought I would make a pot of decaf coffee. It doesn't taste very good. Is it because it's decaf, or because I haven't had coffee in forever? While I was pregnant and even now while breastfeeding, I would put a little bit of coffee in my hot chocolate. I guess the hot chocolate diluted the strong coffee taste. Beer doesn't taste the same either. (Don't freak out, yes I'm breastfeeding, but I can still have a taste!) It reminds me of that first sip you take back in high school. Do you spit it out or keep drinking it because everyone else is? If you keep drinking it, eventually it tastes good! So, alchohol and coffee, maybe it's my body telling me to stay away from it for now. So, it's just not the same. And same is a funny word, keep saying it, same, same, same, same..........
Whitney's been sleeping all day, and I'm bored. Can you tell?

Don't stop trying beer... coffee, eh, I still don't like that. But beer will taste better soon! I also drank beer while breastfeeding- pump and dump! They also have breastmilk test strips at Target and Walgreens! :) Ha ha!
ReplyDeleteI've never liked beer and refuse to keep drinking it to "get used to the taste". I drank coffee during my last trimester with E and pretty much the whole time this time, but mostly decaf. I did have wine toward the end with E, but haven't this time around. But I had no problem drinking wine and nursing! German midwives actually encourage wine drinking to aid in blood flow and easing the let down reflex.
ReplyDeleteBreastmilk test strips, never heard of them. I will have a glass of wine once in a while after Whitney has gone down for the night. (I still like wine, but it tastes stronger now) But I do like beer, I mean REALLY like it, or at least I used to REALLY like it, so I'm sure that taste will come back. We'll see!
ReplyDeleteHow about those mimosa's we had at 3 in the afternoon? They tasted pretty good ;-)
