My son's daycare teachers are miracle workers. After four days of refusing solids, they got him to eat his rice cereal and sweet potatoes, a morning bottle and half of his afternoon bottle. I know the big thing to look out for with hf&m is dehydration, so I'm happy to hear they are doing everything they can to keep him hydrated and to make sure he's getting his calories
Also, fingers crossed that this means his mouth ulcers are healing!

I have leftover restaurant salsa from my fav Mexican restaurant, but no chips. Are triscuits a weird choice in this situation? I'd do raw bell pepper but I'm out of that too.

Not at all.. they are crackers and chip-like. Go for it.
After hitting up the local JBF sale Saturday, I spent yesterday afternoon reorganizing Little Man's clothes. I had to pack away some things to make room, and all his 6 month stuff is too small. We're firmly in 9 and 12 month stuff! Also, I found a newborn sleeper that I had overlooked and it smelled like baby; cue the gut punch, especially since we don't use Baby All detergent anymore because of his eczema. Man, all the feels. I almost asked my husband if we could start trying for another. Almost...
FYI there's a deal going on at target online that if you subscribe for certain diapers (which you can cancel any time) you get 30% off. Plus there's a $10 gift card deal for some of them. So you can get two of the bigger boxes for like $35 plus a $10 gift card.
DS is on a bottle strike while at daycare, but loves his solids. The daycare people told me to bring in an additional solid portion so he has something in his belly. I don't think I'm ready for him to wean off milk this fast. WWYD? I'm still sending in 4 bottles but every day I get 2 back, and the 2 that came back empty - the content mostly went into the drain (12oz of BM, what a waste!)

They are supposed to get most of their nutrition from formula/breast milk until age 1. It sounds like he's still getting some bm at daycare and if you are giving it at home then it's not weening. If he's eating more solids at daycare, maybe just do a majority of bm at home to even it out.
Healthy thoughts to all the sick F15 babies! DD was under the weather last week, with some diarrhea, but she seems to be back op top now. Today she has not only figured out how to get to a full sitting position, but also how to sit once she's there without a hand on the floor. She couldn't do that this morning. It's amazing how quickly and (seemingly) out of nowhere these developments happen once they happen.

We ended up with someone else's bottle cap from daycare. They're labeled with initials. I know it's not a huge deal and mistakes happen, but lots of little things lately are making me start to question them. I really hope DS's teacher comes back soon.

Posting before reading.
My day started with realizing I left my pump bag at home right when I got to work. Luckily I don't live too far away, so I took a really early lunch (a breakfast, if you will) and went back home to grab it.
Then I got a call from daycare saying that N wasn't really acting like himself. They said he was kind of acting like his tummy was hurting and like he was trying to poop, but only had gas coming out. He did end up having a dirty diaper in the afternoon (they only noted it was dirty). I said he was kind of fussy all weekend and I wasn't sure if it is teething or what. They said they'd keep an eye on him and let me know if I should come and get him.
Then this evening he was really fussy and didn't want to eat any carrots. He did nurse just fine, though, so that's good. I'm wondering if the solids are hurting his tummy. I wouldn't call him constipated just yet, but he's definitely more gassy and uncomfortable.
So now I'm wondering if I should back off the solids for a bit or try something else. We just started last weekend, so he's still only getting about an ounce or so?
Oh my goodness! In so upset, in our to dinner with my friend and her one year old (V is at home asleep with DH) and he us a little fussy. Not too bad, just tired and vocal.
This total B*tch walked up and said that it was totally rude to let your kid throw a tantrum and not do anything about it. You should leave the restaurant when he starts screaming.
I couldn't believe it, I wad speechless. She was so hateful.
Eta my friend wasn't ignoring her son, she was soothing him and taking care of him.

Are you sending frozen to daycare? If not I'd freeze what he isn't drinking so you're not wasting it. Does he use a cup at all? Maybe start introducing a cup with the BM at daycare.
Not frozen. They'd try to feed him and he'd refuse. Then he milk's been sitting out for too long, so they had to toss it. Today he drank zero milk while at daycare. When he got home, he only drank 2/3 of a bottle. I tried to feed him another as part of his night routine, but he took down only half. His total for today is about 10oz. He doesn't use a sippy cup yet. I'm wondering if I should stop sending solid to daycare. Maybe that'd force him to drink milk?
He goes to bed so early (6.30-7pm). I try to leave work early to get him at 4.30pm, but that only gives me 2 hours with him. It's not possible to load him up with milk at home.

DS dropped down from 3 bottles (5oz bm and 2 7oz formula ) to 2 bottles (4oz bm each) and a sippy cup (3oz formula). They were only getting the first bottle in him and a little of the second until I asked that they give him his milk 30 min to an hour before solids so he'd get in his milk. He's really decreased the amount he needs (8 to 10oz versus 15 to 19oz), but he's still getting it in.
We do breakfast at home, he has 2 bottles at daycare before solids and the sippy cup is to have milk with his solid meals and a top off before I pick him up so he's calm in the car. Eventually I'll either spread the milk out more over the day and eliminate the formula or make the cup water.
PikoPiko can you send his milk in smaller portions? So at least if he doesn't eat much there's less they throw out. And then if he's hungry and wants more, they just pull out another bottle? It's so painful to see breast milk go down the drain!
Then I would also do what seamonster suggests regarding asking them to offer milk 30min-an hour before solids.
Finally, are you feeding him purees? And purchased or homemade? If homemade I'd make my purees plus any cereals with breast milk to increase his intake that way too. That doesn't address his bottle strike, but at least he's getting the breast milk somehow.

@holachica that's awesome that you enjoy the restaurants and bars down in sac. We used to live down there in college and post college and we would ride our bikes to get dinner. Suburb food is pretty much crap but, some mom and pop shops are heading out our way.
Mmmmm.... Mothers cookies!!! I cried the day they pulled them from the shelf saying that they were no longer making cookies. I am so glad they started making cookies again.
The citizen hotel is gorgeous. That would be awesome if your husband gets to stay there while he is in Sacramento.
Just got back from visiting my friend's baby. They just got home from the hospital yesterday.Oh my goodness, he is so small and squishy and cute! V was never that small! It was a nice visit. We brought them a casserole too, because I remember how nice free food was.
