I don't know what to do about this but lo is essentially reverse cycling and eating 3 bottles at night and 2 during the day. I don't understand how he can go 6 hours during the day but he's barely making it 4 at night. And he is finishing all but 3 oz in total.
Also want to add that he will refuse bottles during the day even when he's crying out of hunger. And he's so dramatic about it, he spits the nipple and any milk in his mouth straight out.

That's so frustrating ... on Sunday Ry refused a bottle in church nursery(and he hadn't nursed since 6:30am) so he went for 6 hours without and I'm like why can't you do this at night?!

So B was doing that this past weekend. We actually took him to the doctor on Sunday because he wasn't sleeping at all at night. They think it was/is the 6 month growth spurt. We have been giving Tylenol at night to help with growing pains. Last night he finally slept semi-normally.
I've just been trying to push formula during the day as much as possible so he needs less at night.
Carrying this over from yesterday, but I totally commiserate in feeling lousy about myself lately. In fact, I think that the whole feeling-bad-about-myself issue played a big part in the little breakdown episode I had last week. But I too feel like I just barely make enough milk for DS to chug along in whatever low percentile he's in these days. I feel like I wish I was a little more in shape...BUT... I want to be able nurse my baby more.
I mostly feel fine and decent about my post baby body. I don't feel like I'm that much bigger at all. That is, until I try to get dressed to actually go somewhere. It's always this frustrating reminder that I DO have an extra 10-15 lbs on me! Now that it's getting colder, I really need to go and buy just one pair of jeans that fit my new size so that I can feel better about myself when I get dressed. I don't care what the heck size they are! I just want to feel good and actually be able to sit down in them!! Haha!
But that's just the state of my body.... Let's talk about the state of my hair and face. Ugh... Just ugh. This aspect of myself may be the worst part. I may not have lost my "self" in the sense of leaving a career, but I sure as hell have lost my self in terms of my appearance! I didn't realize how big a part having my hair and makeup done and being put-together really played in my world. This is something that I actually CAN fix And I need to do so. I need to finally decide what the heck to do with my hair - and I need to go and have it DONE!! And maybe at least try to put on just a little mascara here and there. Baby steps
Anyways, this is probably my contribution for the day. After morning nap time, I seem to have a hard time getting back in here throughout the day.
OH! Yesterday I schlepped a bit of polish on my nails for the first time since my baby shower. I feel so GLAMOROUS!!! Hahaha! It's the little things!

I feel the same way! I give myself one day a week to not wear makeup and to be relaxed in clothes but aside from that, I'm trying to put on a little makeup (not all of it because I do SAH) and put on decent comfy clothes! It's helping!
I start back with my trainer today. I bought a package and had 2 months of weekly workouts left when I got my surprise bfp. I quit then so I have two months remaining! I hope it doesn't tank my supply. I'm ready to get back out there and feel healthier even if I don't lose weight because I'm eating extra calories to breastfeed!
Olivia is a hot mess today and cried hysterically when I left her in gym daycare so we shall see!

mrsw062610 he's always been like this when it comes to eating unfortunately, except when he was younger and literally lived to eat. I keep trying to push more during the day. Ive tried bigger bottles, smaller bottles more frequently, getting him on a schedule, feeding on demand. It usually all ends in frustration. The thing that kills me is he is hungry. He was refusing his morning bottle this morning so I put him down to play and got myself dressed and then I tried again. Same thing, he was spitting it out no matter how I tried to feed it to him(sitting still, rocking, him facing out, standing, singing, etc) eventually he started eating and ate 5 oz so he was obviously hungry.
Yesterday he was eating and then my H LOOKED at him and he stopped and that was it. He had only 2 oz and went 4 more hours until he ate again.

It sucks. I know he can do it. Just not overnight apparently. lol
tbirdlove I usually get dressed, put on a little makeup and do my hair to leave the house, even if it's just nursery school drop off. It might be silly, but it makes me feel good.
I think ds1 has a yeast infection on his foreskin. For awhile now he's had on/off redness and swelling which I've just contributed to still being in diapers overnight. Destin reduces the swelling and redness but it always comes back. He had yeast infections as a baby(from birth pretty much) so I decided to try some caneston last night and this morning and it's so much better. So now what the heck do I do to treat his underwear? I know with cloth diapers the diapers have to be treated so do I do the same with the undies?

Bleach kills yeast from what I hear so if you can, try that first if they are white undies. I can't remember if vinegar/tea tree combo helps with yeast or not but you might see about that too.

Fenugreek is doing its job, thank goodness. DS has started eating more at daycare than I produce and my supply isn't as great since cutting down to two pump sessions.

This is not silly at all! I need to start doing this! I've just had this "why bother" attitude since I've been so consumed with baby, baby, baby. I'm starting to try to ease in a little more me, me, me

We just had a neighbour knock on the door offering to buy the far back part of our lot/backyard. We have a huge yard for our neighbourhood. I'm excited to talk to DW about it when she gets home. I have no idea about valuing the land but I'd be excited for am infusion of cash.

Today has been a good day. Laurel is no longer being finicky about eating in the morning so we are back up to four ounces plus some sort of food. All the kids ate oatmeal that was mixed with some apple and blackberry puree. We also had chicken, green beans, sweet potatoes and pears for lunch and killed off all our bottles. Damian didn't spitup any and took a few naps on the floor or in his crib which hasn't happened in almost two weeks.

That does sound like an awesome day. Things only moms say.

That sounds like a win! I seriously don't know how you do it!

Ridley still isn't back to her normal self after being sick. She just cries and cries. And she's not much of a crier normally, usually just fussy. It breaks my heart. Today I finally gave her Tylenol because I was desperate and it seemed to help some. Not sure if she's still sick or if it's growing pains or something. Her legs do seem restless again. I don't know. But it makes me worried for how this plane ride is going to go Thursday. I just hope I can keep her entertained. I'm bringing food for her because if nothing else food makes her happy.
A never had an ear infection until after he was 2. STM's, what are the signs of an ear infection with a baby? Is it true some don't necessarily get a high temp with them?
Today ended up being another hectic day. Tomorrow is already filling up too. I just kind of want a day to relax but I don't think it's going to happen until next week lol

J only had one or two, but I remember him rubbing his ears and generally being crankier than usual. I think he had a slight temperature, maybe 99.5 or so. He also didn't want to be put down to sleep - I think laying flat hurt his ears.
