NBR GTKY: do you partake in Black Friday shopping (traditional or Internet)?

[mmarie]

Age: 10 months in 7 days!

Formula amt:2 8 oz (1 right away in the am and 1 at bedtime) and 4 oz bottles with meals. She doesn't alway finish her bottles though.

Solids: everything. Most of the time she eats what we eat. If we don't cook she has her purees. She likes the 3 fruits but hates the 3 meals so she still eats those purees. She loved thanksgiving yesterday!

Comments: how many of you have done peanuts? How do you do it? Just peanut butter? I feel like it is too thick and creamy that she would have a hard time swallowing it.

NBR GTKY: do you partake in Black Friday shopping (traditional or Internet)? No. We usually babysit for my cousin so she can go but I work tonight so I needed to sleep. My mom took DD over there today.

[GeekBeagle]

Age: 9 months on Wednesday

Formula amt: 6oz x 2, 5oz x 3

Solids: We're getting better in this department. Typically doing purees 3x/day, but he's getting better at feeding himself (yay!), so he's been getting more puffs, Lil' Crunchies and Mum Mums. He's also done some bananas. He ate some turkey yesterday, too.

Comments: nothing

NBR GTKY: do you partake in Black Friday shopping (traditional or Internet)? Nope. There's rarely anything I want bad enough to make me want to deal with the craziness. I will online shop sometimes, but there's nothing I wanted this year.

mmarie I have not introduced peanuts/peanut butter yet, but I know there are several who have. You may get a better response on the spam thread. I'm going to ask our pedi about it at our 9 month appt.

Age: 9mo on Tuesday

Formula amt: we can barely get her to take 20oz a day. 25 if we are lucky

Solids: anything and everything, 3 meals a day

Comments: has anyone had success with sippy cups? Dd just wants to chew and play with them. With her losing interest in drinking bottles, we are worried about her getting dehydrated

NBR GTKY: do you partake in Black Friday shopping (traditional or Internet)? Yep! Go out shopping with all my il's. I get almost all my Xmas shopping done.

mmarie we are doing peanut butter. I put a thin layer on a banana or on a waffle. She loves it!

[mmarie]

emilyz320 we gave a couple different kinds of sippy cups. A straw one, the 360 cup (I think that's what it's called, it doesn't have a spout.) And one that has a more botitle like nipple and a sippy cup nipple that can be changed out. She doesn't really seem interested in any of them. Sometimes if I hold her like when I hold her to give her a bottle, she will take a sippy cup nipple for a few little drinks. Good luck!

emilyz320 I posted last week that B hasn't really had much interest in her sippy cup. What I did was use a juice box I could squeeze for a couple of days until she figured it out. Now she drinks water from her straw cup really well but still doesn't have much interest in her sippy.

I keep reading the title of this thread and think "whoa formula is on a black Friday deal? Awesome!" but no Haha. Sorry to interject don't mind me

[dreemkin]

Age: 9 months

Formula amt: same - 6oz bottle 4-5 times a day

Solids: done with purees. Still introducing new things. No peanut butter here yet (or shellfish). I'm going to wait as long as possible on those but I'm not worried about an allergy but BSTS.

Comments: re sippy cups: mine will get a bit out of it but not consistently. I want to try a straw but haven't yet. Second kid!

NBR GTKY: naw. I don't think they're really that good of deals. If there is though, my sister usually goes and then she'll get it for me. I am doing most of my shopping on amazon this year. I'm getting less tolerant of lines as I grow older...

mmarie we give pb on toast or mum mum.

I will jump in here after being MIA for awhile…

Age: 10m next week!

Formula amt: 4-5oz 4x/day

Solids: Dinner and breakfast always, lunch if it works out.

NBR GTKY: Maybe online if there's something I really need, otherwise no.

How many of us are still dealing with motn feedings?? I feel like this is getting too old to do this but I'm not sure how to prevent it. Bigger bottle at night? Cereal in the formula?

dreemkin for the most part B is STTN, however she might hit a week here or there where she wakes for a bottle again. We kind of just roll with it and she usually starts STTN again so I don't worry about it. I do notice if she misses a bottle or takes less ounces during the day she will wake at night. I pretty much know when to expect it based on her consumption during the daytime. My doctor said if she was consistently waking and we wanted to break the habit to swap out her bottle for a bottle of water. He said she will eventually realize it isn't worth waking for. Not sure if that would work since we haven't tried it but it's an idea.
