The above prayer often leads to a challenging act of service and sacrifice. My poor baby is covered with a terrible eczema (skin rash) and is suffering. No cream seems to help, so now I am to do the elimination diet and hope he'll heal when we find the allergen (since I'm nursing). It's hard, Lord, to give up all the foods I like to eat and have on hand (dairy, eggs, wheat, corn, sugar, citrus, peanuts)! But I love my baby. If I had to starve to save him, I would. And as I reluctantly enter this "fast", my heart returns to You, Lord, our one true healer and friend. Have mercy, Lord, and heal my son. I pray he wouldn't have any life-long allergies. And help me, Lord, to be willing to lay my life down for this child. Praise You Lord.
Tip: Nursing mothers shouldn't diet but eat healthy and drink lots of water. Don't worry about the weight coming off until the baby weans. Keep lots of healthy snacks around that you can grab with one hand while holding the baby.
