bsouls omg I can’t with that pic! She looks so cute! I love when babies look like little people! Those shoes are adorbs. king26 omg I LOLd at your description. It sound exactly like something N would do. They always pick the best time to pee everywhere. cali omg I’m sorry that sounds awful. I hope you got a good nap in at some point today. My MIL got the pool tent thing- I’ll ask her!

So two questions . How much and how often do your baby's eat? If you give a bottle what size or stage nipple do you use?

king26, M eats 6 oz for her first bottle of the day and then 5 oz about every 3-4 hours the rest of the day (which is 3 bottles) and then 6 oz before bed, so 27 oz total. With solids, she doesn't eat much, just a few bites, especially now that she is sick she is not into solids at all. But she will always eat her oatmeal (she get 1 tbsp oatmeal mixed with 1 oz formula). We use a medium flow nipple. It takes her about 10 minutes to drink 5 oz.

I feel like I'm torturing j tonigjt. He woke up at 10, 12, 130, 230. I fed him at 10, just let him cry at 12 and 130, now feeding him at 230. I do not know what is going on with him.

king26 R usually eats 7oz four times a day (for the past 3-4 weeks). Sometimes she has an extra feeding, if her naps were thrown off. We switched to medium nipple flow a couple weeks ago. R has been waking every couple hours tonight crying. I think it’s teething. We have her Tylenol the first time at like 8:30pm and I just wanted to give it but H got her back to sleep without it.

Omg these sleep struggles. Baby h was down at 8, up at 12, up at 2, and then pretty much awake from 4-6 and consumed 4 more oz after having 2 earlier. It's got to be the 6 month growth spurt even though he doesn't hit 6 months till the 16th. Now he's awake again at 7:30 and just nursed.
I'm sad--I tried so hard with nursing and now one stomach bug and my supply is pretty much gone. I'm pumping, hydrating and taking supplements, but I'm making 25 to 30 percent of what I did before. It's crazy to me how I've suddenly gone from engorged every night to feeling empty.

I'm also hoping it's just the 6 month growth spurt

Ok sleep is shit here too so I’ll commiserate. Asleep at 8:45, up at 11:00, tried to let her cry and have MH check but she is sick and sounded awful so fed her to sleep. Up at 2:30 and then 6:00. I feel like I can’t really do CIO until she is better but feel like everything is getting messed up ugh. Sounds like we are all in with the growth spurt or leap. Damn it I was loving sleep for a week and a half lol.

thinkchocolate05, I’m sorry about the supply worries. It definitely could still be from the stomach bug, that can really take a hit on your supply. FX it rebounds

thinkchocolate05 I’m sorry about your supply. That stinks Omg sleep sucks so badly here these last few nights, too. Ugh. I lost count of how many times we got up with N last night. I feel like a fucking zombie. I think it’s got to be a growth spurt bc he’s also eating like a maniac. Yesterday afternoon/evening he ate at 3:30, 6, 7:30, 9. Wouldn’t even go 3 hours and ate 4.5-5oz each feeding. I was like WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?! king26 N eats between 4-6oz every 3-4hours. Before bed sometimes he’ll take an extra oz or two, eating a total of 7-8. We use a size 2 dr brown nipple, I assume that’s medium flow. We haven’t started solids yet.

Tomorrow 😭 not ready to go back to all that freakin snow. But maybe DH will finally get his shit together and pull his weight. 😒 he’s been doing a little bit better since I wigged out on him but still not as helpful as I need. His back is killing him and I am sympathetic to that, but he doesn’t help with other simpler things. Like it doesn’t occur to him to do anything 😒

I was the one up for the wake ups minus the first one at 11:00 but ended up anyways because boobs and he was the one sleeping in this morning 😠

I ended up bringing R to bed with me at 6am and she slept on my chest until 7:30am. She was still pretty fussy after her bottle - hopefully she wakes up from her nap in a better mood.

I made sugar cookie dough (double batch) in order to make Valentine’s Day cookies. So, I’ll be baking those soon.
And, I took some pictures of R for 6 month pictures since I’m not sure I’ll get them in before Wednesday. Plus, it’s been so cloudy and the lighting has been bad in the house.

addymac Yay for solo pool and beer time! DH left for his work trip this morning, so the kids and I are having a pjs and pizza day. DS is still dealing with a nasty cold, and I’m waiting not so patiently for the shingles to clear up. Luckily DD seems to be fine so far. She had been able to roll for a few weeks but hasn’t really been. Then yesterday she started rolling around to get DS’ toys. He is not so thrilled about it. But I’m glad she’s working on her mobile skills bc DS was delayed in everything.

king26 I am breastfeeding but since I’ve been pumping this week I figured out the milk consumption. She’s drinking a 3-4oz bottle every 2 hrs during the day. Depending on how the night goes it’s 8-10 feeds a day. 😲

So two questions . How much and how often do your baby's eat? If you give a bottle what size or stage nipple do you use? Ugh my kids are way on the high end of spectrum - total 33-38 ounces each every day, broken up into 6 or 7 bottles. We still use 2s.

Between 32 and 38 in 6 or 7 bottles.

Between 32 and 38 in 6 or 7 bottles. Yeah - I thought at first the flow was too fast. Nope - they're just big eaters. Hoping that when they start eating real food, eventually it will slow down. That's a lot of milk to go through.

Ugh, M is asleep and MH is asleep and I cannot fall asleep, even though I'm so tired!! It doesn't help that MH is snoring so damn loud right next to me. I have such a busy day tomorrow too! We're getting our taxes done in the morning and then going to visit two daycares. God damnit, insomnia!

J had a rough day with crappy naps. In fact, for the first time in 3 or 4 weeks he took 5 naps instead of his usual 4 because they were so short. However, he just slept for 6 hours for the first time in days so I will take it!

cali I feel your pain with the snoring. I finally lay down last night after settling ds1 from a night terror and feeding baby h. I kept startling awake bc dh snoring sounded like one of the kids crying. I wanted to kick him but showed mercy bc he can't fall back asleep easily if he wakes.
