zengal- he's definitely teething too. Today, I rocked him while he held his lovey and had a teething toy in his mouth till he fell asleep. We may give him some tylenol tonight if he continues to be like this. He is having tons of bottles too and growing out of his clothes real fast right now too.
My child cries right now if your not right there with her. I'm thinking I might need to take her for a walk while DH is mowing. She's being really needy tonight. She doesn't want to play with me, she doesn't want to nap, she doesn't want to sit with me, she doesn't want to play on her own either. It's going to be a long night I think.
Mainly a drive by but I have been trying to catch up. This week isn't shaping up any better than last week unfortunately. Plus lo had a really rough day today with the nanny lots of fussing and crying and refusing to nap. I got a text at lunch saying she was taking him for a drive to see if that would calm him down :-( I then cried because I couldn't go home and cuddle and nurse him, I hate Mommy guilt. Max only wants to nap when being held by me when my H or the nanny try he flails around pushes away and hits them. I have no idea how to help him and I won't let him cio.
Still refuses a bottle but is taking lots of solids when I am gone.
I need to make myself drink more water with how busy I have been I have been slacking and I noticed I have pumped less yesterday and today than normal.
Wishing everyone good sleep tonight. Days like this make me happy we cosleep so I can have all the cuddles all night (sorry H)!
I'm basically gathering that this 8 month or so age is tough with little personalities starting to really shine through. And a lot of dramatics come with it. Hugs
Haha gldnbearz a bike trailer for the dog! spikesmom I read somewhere about working breastfeeding moms tendency to co sleep because the extra closeness reduces the mommy guilt and is good for keeping production up. Makes sense to me! pixie523 sorry about the itchy ass

Oh my gosh. Hugs or beers or both to everyone. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
Nobody told me this stage would be this hard. M has a doctor appointment tomorrow and I'm going to ask him how much of the whiny, needy, unsatisfied, weird eating, whacked out sleeping is normal. Then I'll ask him for some Valium for me. (I wish!)
Sending good sleep wishes for all mommas and babies.
I Just spent the last ten minutes in a Pinterest spiral. I wound up looking scrolling through millions of chocolate pb recipes. Now my mouth is watering, my stomach is growling, and I'm never getting bCk to sleep now :-(
LO fell asleep on me at 9pm. Up to pump at midnight and prep for tomorrow. Needed to wrap gifts for a double baby shower for close work colleagues.
Should I have bothered wrapping a box of diapers?
This may be a UO. Wrapping presents is a waste resources (gift wrap) and time (to wrap and unwrap). Gift bags are the way to go. Less waste if you recycle and time spent wrapping and unwrapping.
