[danitaec]

How old is your LO? 9 months and about a week

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Just frozen. The pump is outta here!

Solids? We're shooting for 3x a day. Gagged on some poorly mashed potatoes during Thanksgiving so that was fun...

Do you give LO water or anything other than milk to drink? We've tried offering water with solids but he's not having it. He's not yet a sippy cup fan.

Questions/AW? If it's wrong to AW my frozen stash I don't wanna be right.


GTKY: what is your favorite thing about December other than Christmas? I love hoodie weather. I want to wear all the hoodies all the time. And house slippers. And weather that lets you drink hot chocolate without getting sweaty.

[cougarette]

How old is your LO?
9 months!

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing?
Nursing together and pumping at work

Solids?
We just added breakfast last week. We're doing oatmeal with some fruit. I tried making the oatmeal, but I wasn't sure how to do it and at what consistency. But I had some purees with it and he seemed to like it. Now I have to play around with the amounts of the straight up oatmeal.

Do you give LO water or anything other than milk to drink?
I've given him a sippy cup with water a few times. He mostly chews on the spout right now. So no, he's only really drinking milk still.

Questions/AW?
Like I said earlier, I was so happy to be away from the pump last week. I'm ready to be d-u-n done.

GTKY: what is your favorite thing about December other than Christmas?
Probably the weather. While it doesn't get too, too cold here, it does get cold for us. It's a nice break.

[cougarette]

That is amazing, danitaec! Great job!

Nice work!!!!  Ours is dwindling now.  But we actually had freezer space for the turkeys for christmas so that was a bonus!

You go, momma, that's amazing!

[lilyelayne]

How old is your LO? - he'll be 9 months on Saturday

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? - nursing

Solids? - 2x day. Sometimes breakfast as well.

Do you give LO water or anything other than milk to drink? - water in a sippy anytime he gets a meal in the high chair. If he shares my oatmeal in the morning, I give him water from my open cup.

Questions/AW? - finally gave myself permission to stop tracking nursing on my babyconnect app. We hit 400 hours! I'm down to just tracking sleep.

GTKY: what is your favorite thing about December other than Christmas? - does seeing out of town family count as Christmas? If so, then I'll say reflecting over the past year.

[agm04]

How old is your LO? 40 weeks today! Out as long as she was in. And that makes me think I was pregnant forever.

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing and pumping.

Solids? 2-3x a day, depending on whether I'm home or not. She eats more when I'm home.

Do you give LO water or anything other than milk to drink? She loves water! We're still using the avent natural "sippy cup" that's really just a bottle with handles and a faster flow nipple. Tried using the sippy cup nipple, and she acted like she was drowning. All in good time.

Questions/AW? Anyone else in sleep hell lately? I kind of want to create a separate thread about this - I'm really at a loss. DD has been pretty good at falling asleep independently for a long time, but the last 10 days have been a NIGHTMARE. Last night she got a total of 7 hours of sleep. I think it may be a combination of practicing sitting/crawling and separation anxiety. The former wakes her up, and the latter keeps her from going back to sleep? We were only nursing once at night most of the time, but not so much this last week. I guess I just want to know if anyone else has gone through this seemingly out of nowhere, and how long it lasted/any tips? Did you nurse to calm baby? I was so happy when things were back to "normal" after the last wonder week, and now we have this going on. Fun stuff!

GTKY: what is your favorite thing about December other than Christmas? Is it cheating if I say Christmas decorations, music, and movies? If that's cheating, then I'll say footy pjs and electric blankets.

[agm04]

lilyelayne I want to make myself step away from the app for sleep, but it's so helpful sometimes. 400 hours is awesome!

Sleep I feel is still useful to track. I dropped tracking wet diapers a couple months ago, then dirty diapers. I tracked solid foods for a while, but stopped. Yesterday stopped tracking nursing. So we're just down to sleep.

[lilyelayne]

agm04 I was thinking of making an honest sleep thread too. I'm curious what's going on with everyone's LO's. I'm still nursing MOTN because STTN stopped at 6 months, but DS puts himself to sleep for naps & bedtime ... except the past few days there have been a few instances of wanting to cuddle/rock to sleep? He hasn't done that in ages! Some of it is sitting up in the crib or trying to crawl/pull up instead of going to sleep but idk.

[lilyelayne]

Flame free sleep confessions!

Holy mother of milk! That's one hell of a stash! The pop cases are genius!

That is incredible!

I mean, technically it IS a milk bank... 

[hollydfromtn]

How old is your LO? 10 months

Are you nursing, pumping, supplementing? Nursing

Solids? We've been on a strict diet this past week of apples, bananas, chicken, and turkey due to our tummy troubles, so nothing new has been added.

Do you give LO water or anything other than milk to drink? S usually gets water at the table during meal times but we've changed it to pedialyte this week and I've been letting him have it all day instead of just meal times. He really enjoyed the orange flavored one.

Questions/AW? I'm just so excited that we've made it this far. My initial goal was only 6 months. The fact that we're so close to a full year of nursing is amazing to me.

GTKY: what is your favorite thing about December other than Christmas? I love that it finally starts to get cold here and the anticipation of snow. Although I do not care for when the cold drags on without it snowing. Cold for no reason really sucks.
