NBR GTKY: what type of music do you listen to?

[tortor4]

Age: 7 months and 1 week
Formula amount: 6 ounces every 3-4 hours
Solids section: she ate an entire container of food yesterday! This is totally unlike her.
Any comments: 8 ounce bottles didn't work for us. DD has been fighting me for a while now when I try to get her to eat. She screams like she's not hungry but as soon as she latches on to the bottle she sucks it down like crazy. Repeat that every few minutes and that's how she eats. I'm hoping it's just that she doesn't want to stop playing or miss anything going on around her. Any thoughts?
NBR GTKY: I listen to pretty much anything. I still love pop (FFFC?) and anything I can sing along to or dance with DD to!
ETA I've let DD go longer between bottles in case she's really not hungry when I try but the same thing happens. It seems like she'd go all day without eating if I'd let her. The only bottle she never fights me on is her first one of the day if she wakes up at 6. If she sleeps in until 8 she fights it.

Sorry, no advice with the feedings tortor4. Hope she gets better at it!

[emilyz320]

Age: 6 mo

Formula amt: 6oz five times a day. She used to take a little top off before bed but that is rare now. She has dropped a little since starting solids

Solids section: fruit or veggie once a day at dinner

Any comments: nope!

NBR GTKY: what type of music do you listen to? I will admit I love pop and that's what I usually listen to when I have music on

[taberbtb]

Age: 7.25m

Formula amt: I keep saying 6oz but really it's our 5oz bottles filled to the top. I measured tonight and it's almost 7oz. 4x per day.

Solids section: B has breakfast with me half of the week, the other 3 days it gets skipped. Dinner every night. Last night it was a banana and cottage cheese, the night before shredded chicken and avocado.

Any comments: B has dropped her MOTN feed and with the exception of an extra ounce or two at bedtime she will not make it up anywhere. She's well over 18lbs so I guess I am not worrying about it.

GTKY: Country, Rock and Pop. I listen to the radio all day long and find the stations to be repetitive so I try to switch it up.

tortor4 there is no way I could get 8oz into B. She hasn't even been finishing her 6-7oz bottles lately.

[tortor4]

taberbtb yeah it was my unsuccessful attempt at trying to help her get more ounces in total for the day since she fights eating so hard. Oh well.

[GeekBeagle]

Age: 6 months, 10 days

Formula amt: 5-7oz 5x a day for a total of 28-29oz

Solids section: Just started on Tuesday, so we're only on day 5 of solids. He didn't really care for the sweet potatoes but loves peas. Funny because mommy is the opposite.

Any comments: nope

NBR GTKY: what type of music do you listen to? Mostly alternative. I'll listen to anything but country, though.

[johanna]

Age: 7mo plus 1wk

Formula amt: 4-7 oz 6 times daily. She is picky about her milk and sometimes only wants a snack. She eats anywhere from 26 to 32oz per day. It depends on her mood.

Solids section: We are doing BLW and she does well with it. She has lots of fruits and veggies, pieces of English muffin for breakfast, and last night she loved the ground turkey with chili powder seasoning that I made for our burritos. Last time she tried spicy food she cried so I was really surprised that it went over so well.

Any comments:

NBR GTKY: what type of music do you listen to? I listen to pop mostly on the radio but when H is in the car we put on classic rock. I also listen to audiobooks a lot instead of music. I am home with DD during the day so I need some intellectual stimulation.

Im lurk, but good for you for trying something spicy with her! I've let J try some bbq pulled pork but that's the most extreme spice she's had. I think someone should start a BLW check in!

We've been feeding DS pork with red chile mixed with beans or peas to cool it down. He loves it.

Age: 7 months & some change

Formula amt: 6 oz bottles 5 or 6 times a day.

Solids section: we started a protein this week. Yup, I made chicken powder. She liked it but only when mixed heavily with a fruit/veg. So far so good. She will start plum tomorrow. She likes to play with the cereal puffs. Not many have made it in her mouth yet.

Any comments: none this week that I can think of.

NBR GTKY: I love alternative/indie. I listen to alt nation on XM in the car. I especially love anything Silversun Pickups and Death Cab. But I also dabble in pop/top 40. Yeah, I belt out some ellie goulding in the car.

[lilyelayne]

I don't go here but dreemkin you made chicken powder?! How'd you do that?
I switch over to alt nation sometimes on XM but I've been on a lithium kick right now. Octane is the rock station on my presets.

Bake chicken breasts and then ground it up in my magic bullet. It gets to be a powder consistency.

I like octane too. I'll have to check out lithium. I've heard of it but haven't listened to it.
