So DS has slept a lot today. Like has only been awake for maybe 2-2.5 hrs total in the last 12 hours. And when he is awake this evening, he's super fussy and has reflux.... Leap? Growth spurt? He is 10 weeks on Wednesday...i mean it is good that I can get some stuff done around the house but it kinda has me worried. I want my happy smiling baby back! Any insight??

And the mommy shaming begins...on my Facebook secret breastfeeding page. Apparently I'm a horrible person for starting A on cereal instead of purees. They said I should be letting her grab things off my plate. God forbid I follow the advice of her pediatrician and physical therapist. Ugh.

No insight, but we're in the same boat today. B was 10 weeks on Thursday. He's done nothing but fuss and scream today if he's not being fed or held. Totally not like him. H said he was really sleepy last Thurs/Fri though.
motownthrowdown well obviously they know more than someone who knows Amelia's full medical history!
M has to be growth spurting. He ate a ton at my dad's and took really long naps. When we home he went from zero to I'm too hungry to even latch in two seconds. He's eaten and slept since we got home.

Done! I'm also going to dip my toes into the facebook pool, you're my first friend request

Screw them. For what it's worth, I started my first on cereal and I don't think it's made one bit difference in his food preferences or intake. He's got his food quirks, but who doesn't. He eats a well balanced diet. Also, under age 1, food is just for fun. You're doing what's best for you and A!
I'm done. I'm so done with today. N is still congested and refused to sleep today. 20 minutes every 4 hours, max. He is so pissed off because he's tired. Grandma ate 6 pieces of my cinnamon raisin bread that I only buy once a year because it's expensive. That's almost half a loaf. At one time. Lost my shit. She's pissed at me. Come to find out her dog pissed on not only our bedroom door, but dds potty. Then, then, I open a piece of mail and for some unknown reason my insurance didn't cover any ob visits for the month of April and may. Icing on the cake? Still need to clean up dinner. And since mil and fil decided to eat at home tonight, I also need to clean up their dinner. I may have had a screaming meltdown in dhs general direction and now I'm sitting in the streamy bathroom with the baby trying not to cry or scream or both. I need wine. Lots of wine.

he's right between two leaps so he could be going through one half a week late or the other early. E has been sleeping a lot here too. And is fussy when awake. Haaallp.

Why on earth is it any of their business what you start your baby on? Oh and you should definitely listen to them and not the trained professionals, insert eye roll.

Rookie question re formula:
I nursed DD but have been offering a few ounces of formula after each feeding while I battle my supply issues. I made a bottle and heated it up, only to find DD sleeping. Do I (a) refrigerate it and re-heat when she wakes up in a few hours or (b) dump it out since it was warmed

First off, rice cereal is the first step to real food and before grabbing anything off your plate. Plus A is too young to grab anything off your plate, right? Going off adjusted age? Isn't she 3months or younger?? I am guessing your group is not taking the adjustment into mind.

@aliam20 that is my favorite "oh crap, I forgot dessert" dessert. So good.
Re: food, she's doing enough of the stuff (supported sitting, holding head, pushing up, not spitting it out) that she's developmentally ready for it. She isn't capable of reaching for food or holding the spoon while I feed her (can normal 5 month olds do this??) she's 2 1/2 months adjusted, but acts more like 4. Preemies get picky about textures and tastes (so they say) so we're supposed to try it now and if she can't or won't do it, try again in a couple weeks. Plus she's had digestive issues before in the nicu so that's why we're doing boring rice with breastmilk.
Oh, and this is the Facebook group of the meeting I skipped out on Saturday. I'm done with them. It just makes me so mad that they jump all over each other about this crap. It's been hard enough for me to EP (this group is full of militant BFers) and try to get her to latch. I don't need this on top of it.

No you don't.
As far as holding a spoon I can't remember when ds1 did that. Way after a 5.5 months though

htuzzi324. You need several bottles of wine and a floor safe. Is it feasible to buy tubs and/or a mini fridge? And that damn dog...I feel like it's being neglected (not by you, by grandma)--can you adopt it out and not tell her? I know I'm a shitty person for thinking that. But if she can't bother to take care of it, it shouldn't be there.

I've already cleaned out a plastic bin and put my bread, and the kids snacks into it and under our bed. Went to get the kids each a bag of pretzels out of the huge 34 bag box we just got, and all that was left was two bags of sun chips. I am so over these people.

runningmommy519, love that comic Actually, it was your posts that got me hooked. Then I spent several MOTN feedings going through the rest on his webpage.
