Has AF returned? What birth control are you using? No AF. Taking the mini pill. And using condoms for those rare times any action is happening. Abstinence is the real bc here because the mood just isn't there. And definitely not when I'm woken up by H.
Preach. We went to a Halloween party Friday night, and it was clear that DH really wanted some lovin' when we got home. The whole way home I told myself, "do it for him, do it for him..." and forced myself to be nice...and then spent the following morning bitter that I'd lost 20 minutes of sleep to DTD. lol. That was our 4th time since LO was born, so I'm not THAT nice.
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing & pumping
How often does LO have milk feedings / how many in a day? It varies. Every 3ish hours at daycare. More often when we're home. Maybe 6-7 total? I have no idea. I just go with the flow.
Solids? How often? Once a day at daycare. I try to do another at dinner time but sometimes he refuses.
Has AF returned? What birth control are you using? No AF. Condoms.
Questions/AW? Is there a sleep regression around now? On top of daylight savings hell and waking up way to early, he's also back to waking up twice every night. Sometimes only 2-3 hours between MOTN wakings. It's wearing on me.
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing together, pumping when I'm at work.
How often does LO have milk feedings / how many in a day? Usually 7, which includes one MOTN feed.
Solids? How often? Typically 3x a day
Has AF returned? What birth control are you using? No. Mini pill.
Questions/AW? Not right now.
GTKY: leave a quote from your favorite movie. We'll see if we can guess the movies! I have two.
"If I'm wrong, nothing happens! We go to jail. Peacefully, quietly, we'll enjoy it! But if I'm right, and we can stop this.. Lenny.. You will have saved the lives of millions of registered voters."
"Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
@junebugjsm There is a 8/9/10 month sleep regression. Can happen any time and is only supposed to last a few days or a couple weeks. Shorter than the earlier regressions anyway. Don't know if you can get multiple regressions during that time.
I think I'm going to drop nursing DS at daycare dropoff. He's not that interested and he's not wanting to eat all his bottles at daycare because he wants them close to mealtime. This way he'll take his bottles earlier and I can make it to work on time.
He won't let anyone feed him now and holds his own bottle. I'd switch to a cup if he wouldn't just spit out the milk. He'll drink water from one, but not milk. I'd think it was self weaning behavior if he wasn't a boob addict. Oh well. Four more weeks of pumping and then bonding leave starts.
Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing, one pumped bottle at bedtime
How often does LO have milk feedings / how many in a day? Around every 2 to 3 hours during day. Up twice at night
Solids? How often? 3 "meals". A grain (pancake/oatmeal/french toast) that she picks at for breakfast with 2 oz fruit, 2 oz vegetable and 2 oz meat for lunch, 2 oz each of fruit, vegetable, and meat for dinner. Sometimes just off our plates if it's something she can eat.
Has AF returned? What birth control are you using? Just spotting. Baby still not sleeping through the night induced abstinence for the birth control . Seriously though, condoms and I'll chart when AF back regularly
hollydfromtn I second Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Helped us prevent for a year (though DH was paranoid and also used condoms). It also helped with conceiving. That said, my sister ovulated CD8 her first cycle doing it (before she knew her cycles) and I have a cute nephew now to show for it. So I still am the paranoid using condoms for backup most of the cycle lady.

This will be me if I ever use it to prevent again. I think DH and I will go right into NTNP as soon as I get my cycle back, but otherwise, there will be backup happening. I ovulated like clockwork CD 16-18 for 2 years, then magically on day 10 the month we conceived. I normally would have been careful around then anyway, but we had just moved and I was exhausted and not thinking that clearly. But DD is awesome and I wouldn't want her to be anyone else, so it worked out.
And holy solids batman! Your LO is putting them away!
agm04 I probably didn't word that the best. That's what we offer at each meal. She usually makes it through most of the food with the exception of breakfast, but sometimes she's a snob and refuses half of it. Little brat already (jk)
