360s were our goal- they are most like a regular cup and best for their teeth. They use a regular plastic spout for milk right now and 360s for water, it just took a while to convince them to drink from them!
I realized today that I met my year goal and that I could technically stop pumping! My boobs would kill me so I'm going to continue with 2x a day this week and then try 1x next week. I'm a little torn though too, which surprised me
I really struggled dropping from 2x a day- I ended up taking sudafed to help dry up my supply. Clogged ducts and mastitis at the end seemed like a cruel joke.

Solely 360 right now. We had avent sippys for awhile but once she figured out the 360, she preferred it

Today is going to suck ass at work, so of course it's also when DD would be up from 4:15-6 this morning. I finally got her down, but couldn't fall back asleep for another 20. I'm so tired

So do I..... I didn't understand why you were asking me.
My mom is really OCD clean. I think I'm just concerned about milk getting everywhere if it's in a sippy. Does that make sense??
This is why we don't use the 360 for anything but water, they leak like CRAZY when thrown. We only do milk at the table, with a take & toss sippy (which leaks like crazy but they won't "work" for milk yet, so I can't get away with any of the leakproof ones).

I just realized that I have Tuesday off tomorrow for F's 1 year appt. So if I also take Wed as PTO I get 6 days off in a row with only 2 days of PTO spent - SCORE!
So we had the 12 month check up and he hasn't gained much weight since his last appointment. We are going to get blood work done to check foe anemia etc and we will check his weight again in 6 weeks or so.
In the meantime time, I gotta figure out how to get him eating some fattier food. He loves fruit and bread.

I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow! Ever actually. I had an OB then a family doctor so this will be all new but I figured why not go for it and try all 3. Also since DD2 was born so fast I figure having somebody who can come check me at home AND deliver at home if needed (not my plan though, I am not that committed to my labor process), I should do that. Plus DH is slotted for tour right after so the more personalized care will be nice.
Anybody use a midwife with any tips or questions I should be asking. I'm drawing a total blank.

I used a midwife - but they are just a subsection of the OB group associated to my hospital (they don't do home birth) so I'm not sure I can help. They essentially gave me the same care I experienced with the OBs but were less pushy for all the tests and seemed more willing to suggest options for things I experienced (acupuncture to get F to turn, diet things for preparing for labor, etc). Honestly, I would straight up ask them to describe what kind of care you can expect and if there is anything that they won't do. I would also ask what their process is if things don't go to plan (mine for example would let me stay at home for 20 hours after my water broke but then I would have to come in)
Good luck!
If your DH is gone right after you might want to look into a post-partem doula. Not sure if they have that in Canada but around here they help with breastfeeding / general house stuff / taking care of the siblings / etc. Just so you can get back on your feet and get settled with your new little squish.
samelly, both of mine have plateaued weight-wise in the past few months. The pedi wasn't concerned because they are SO ACTIVE and still pretty chunky in the legs and face, but we definitely work at getting protein and fat in! Butter is, I think, their favorite food. We cook their eggs and some veggies in butter. If they won't eat something, we put butter on it. They also love avocado, so we give them as much as we can afford! (Ash would eat a whole avocado at one sitting if I let him)
So we had the 12 month check up and he hasn't gained much weight since his last appointment. We are going to get blood work done to check foe anemia etc and we will check his weight again in 6 weeks or so.

C is anemic even though his weight gain seems to be steady =( My pedi told me to start on him on poly-vi-sol supplements and also to BF after he eats his meals as milk interferes with iron absorption.

What a gorgeous family yummeecookee! E was anemic also at his 12 month appt. I've been giving him the poly-vi-sol as well and a month later he's 2 pts better than normal.

I'm so over this week. Between DD's party on Sunday, bday Monday, Gpa's surgery Monday and too many fires, deadlines and dick clients at work, oh yeah and DD cutting 4 teeth, I'm fucking tired!
