Genz,

Thanks! Didn't get any saltines in the hospital. Haven't had any

reflux or nausea, just very dry. Will try them tomorrow.

Bern,

Instead of trying to remember to sip 2 to 3 tablespoons every 15 to 20 min

try just keeping some juice at your side and constantly sipping! Let your

tummy say you've had 2 to 3 tablespoons instead of your head! Remember our

tummies are suppose to tell us when for the rest of our lives! And remember

baby tummy, baby sips!!

Mine definitely is in charge now! I keep something to drink constantly, sun

up till sun down, and a cracker close by.

I'm looking forward to mashed potatoes! Does anybody know, can we put the

butter and milk in them? or will that maybe make us sick? I'm planning on

instant! Any suggestions? What about the oatmeal, can it have cream and

sugar? I read on a post somewhere that milk doesn't set well that's why we

chew those " yummy tums " ?
