When in Rome

Greetings from Oaxaca! Goldie is just about at 6 months now and I am still breastfeeding, using formula once a day or so and now she really wants food. The thing is, the locals do things a little different. It is like a feeding frenzy In the past three days she has had 2 types of tea, with honey, hot chocolate, broth, carrots, banana, apple, green beans, potato, (all with salt or sugar) and I am sure other things when I am not looking (I caught them letting her suck on a big piece of steak the other day!). Is all this food ok? People are a little pushy about how to do things with babies and I just want to make sure that I don´t have to put my foot down. They also have some interesting cures for low milk supply. They are making me drink about 4 cups of a drink made of either ground sesame seeds or corn (Atole it is called) and also the broth of rice with almonds (horchata). It sounds crazy, but it is really working. I am really seeing an increase. Good thing because Goldie seems to be starving all the time!
