Comments corner:

NBR GTKY: what number child are you in your family? What is your Sig other? Do you think it makes a difference in your relationship?

[dacora]

Age: 5.5ish months

Formula amt per bottle and day: 7oz 5x a day

Solids section: None yet, though we've been meaning to try again soon.

Comments corner: I think I need to move DD up a level in bottle nipples, she's started gnawing on the nipple and getting formula everywhere instead of focusing on eating. Thoughts?

NBR GTKY: what number child are you in your family? What is your Sig other? Do you think it makes a difference in your relationship? DH and I are both oldest children of two. I guess that means we're both a little bossy and used to getting our way, but it hasn't really caused any problems.

Age: Not sure. For sure not 6 months old yet though!

Formula amt per bottle and day: 5 6oz bottles per day.

Solids section: 2Tbsp cereal and 2Tbsp veggie 2x per day.

Comments corner: I feel like I am over feeding my kid but he is a good weight and keeping up with all milestones. I just cant believe how much he eats. I lost sleep over how poorly DD ate and how slowly she gained weight... and this kid is pounding back food like a 15 year old boy.

NBR GTKY: what number child are you in your family? What is your Sig other? Do you think it makes a difference in your relationship?
I am a first born and DH is a baby. I am a very typical first born and he is like a first born. So we are both always trying to be the boss hahaha.

Age: last week of being a 4mo old

Formula amt per bottle and day: five 6oz bottles, occasionally an extra 5oz bottle depending on wake up time

Solids section: none yet! She seems very interested and is starting to sit up, so we may try before 6mo

Comments corner: none this week

NBR GTKY: what number child are you in your family? What is your Sig other? Do you think it makes a difference in your relationship? He is the oldest out of 2 and I am the 6th out of 7. I'm not sure if it makes a difference! I have never paid attention to birth order traits.

[dreemkin]

Age: almost 6 months

Formula amt per bottle and day: 6oz bottles 5-6 per day.

Solids section: just started to give sweet potato puree I made, once a day. She's not a fan unless I mix it with a lot of formula and by then it's like a sweet potato and alimentum smootie mmm :sarcasm:

Comments corner: I'd love for her to get up only once at night to eat but no matter how late we feed her the final day bottle, she's up at 12-1 like clockwork and then 5ish. Someone mentioned CIO but I have a 2.5 year old light sleeper in the room next to her and I'm afraid. Very afraid.

NBR GTKY: I am the youngest and my DH is the youngest. I only see a "problem" when we both can't make a fluff decision mostly about where to go eat or what to do. We are also both very sensitive but I think that strengthens our marriage because we are very good at talking about things that bother us and working it out.

dacora I thought so too but I'm already on size 2 and 3 is the last size. Not sure if we will switch just yet. Going to wait as long as possible. I think Anna is just getting distracted for other reasons. Mainly, her big sis running around.

[dreemkin]

PS: I've heard that same birth order couples are not compatible but it works for me & DH (and my sister: they are both the oldest). I always thought sociology was a bunch of bull but I wanted to see how it went on Feb15

[jensoprano82]

Age: turned 6 mos on Thursday

Formula: 6oz 5-6 times/day

Solids: I've been encouraged to step it up as much as he wants but more than once a day seems like a big pain

Comments: dacora I just switched from size 2's to3's because he was getting distracted and bored while eating and it worked well.

Other comment, he just dropped his dream feed this week! Yaaaay

[jensoprano82]

Oh, NbR GTKY: we are both Pacifist middle children and peacemakers

[GeekBeagle]

Age: 21 weeks, 5 months in a week

Formula amt per bottle and day: 6oz x 2, 5oz x 3 = 27oz - been on this amount forever it seems!

Solids section: none until 6 months

Comments corner: DS is still having issues with finishing bottles/playing with them and is now throwing up sometimes. The throwing up is likely from another bug he caught at daycare, ugh! We have seriously been wasting so much formula and that stuff is expensive. I'm still waiting on our reimbursement check, but I was told it was cut on Monday, so hopefully I get it soon.

NBR GTKY: what number child are you in your family? What is your Sig other? Do you think it makes a difference in your relationship? I'm the youngest of two and DH is the oldest of two. No idea if that makes a difference.
