Meh, mine only eats about 3/4 a T of oatmeal and 2-3 ounces of puree then maybe a handful of puffs or a teething wafer. I'm in no rush. We're actually still in the try all the foods phase too. She still hasn't had peas.

@lest12 E only takes two bottles (5-6 oz) while I am at work too. At first I was worried about it but now I just stres less about having to pump so much while I am at work.

I'll trade problems with those of you with babies who don't eat much for my sleep situation. It's bad guys. I'm like embarrassed with how bad it is. It seems like everyone's child is good at sleeping now and mine is just x100000000 worse.
@cgab I am doing "baby lead weaning" kind of. Bear barely eats. Actually she just started swallowing things that aren't paper, but only in small amounts. I'm not worried yet. She won't let me spoon feed her so its whatever I guess.
amackattack Yeah, sleep is bad here too. A good night is 2 wake ups. A bad night... Lets not talk about it...
Can I cry here? This week has been unbelievably bad. So busy at work, so many things went wrong. Basically, I work for a program funded to staff a minimum of 4 fulltime staff. I am now the only full time staff, we have 5 pt tutors, and my director who has had a ton of work to do for the other 2 programs she manages. I have pretty much been on my own all week. I have forgotten stuff, big stuff, and had to improvise on other things because I'm doing the job of another full time counselor who retired in December. To top that off, DH is going through a career change, and has had to be doing stuff for both jobs a lot at night. I have not been very nice and understanding, we were in a huge fight on Wednesday and it just sucked. Plus we're still doing our sugar detox until Sunday, and all I wanted was a huge bottle of wine and a tub of ben and jerry's. No end in sight, and I work tomorrow too. I only get one Saturday off in February and that happens to be the day I'm running a 15k. Typically, I get a day off during the week to compensate but I don't really think I can swing that and not suck at my job...
Sorry to be MIA this week. Thank you all for your kind words and support this as it is new for me to be away from G.Things have gone from insane to complete insanity. I am in class starting from 12:45 through Tuesday pm, with evenings off - so you may not hear from me. I will post when I have some more time. We let our sitter go this am. After repeated reminders on a variety of things, I lost it yesterday. She was walking in the street with him which we'd already discussed. She was silly enough to flag me down and wave wildly as I drove by. Thank you and You're FIRED in the words of Donald Trump. She came from a great referral too.
Have a wonderful weekend and hope you guys get tons of snuggle time with LOs as well as some relaxation. Hope not too many sick babes out there!

sjdihle - HUGS!!! Props to you two for doing a sugar detox... I wish I had the will power! I really hope the weekend only gets better from here!
About the whole solids thing... I feel so behind! I'm way more paranoid than I need to be about introducing new foods as we don't have a history of food allergies. She LOVES her puffs and seems to be wanting that more than the purees. I can't keep up with this kid! I know the guidelines are there for a reason, but they've made me so paranoid. Ugh!!! I seriously lose sleep over this crap.
