6/5: 3-6 month check-in

[judyblume14]

Sorry I'm late (again) posting this. Like most of you - I have a lot going on right now!

How old is your LO?

How frequently are you nursing?

How are nights going?

Tastes of real food?

Any questions/rants/raves??

Almost 5 months! Holy crap.

3x on weekdays. Lost more on weekends.

Nights are okay, but bedtimes have been a tiny bit challenging lately because of, ugh, teething.

We;re going to wait til 6 months to actually try solids/purees (she's a bobble head), but I did scrape a little tiny bit of watermelon and strawberry flesh for her to taste the other day. She seemed to like it

I'm even later to reply than you were to post! 😉

How old is your LO? 5m

How frequently are you nursing? Constantly; it's like a multi-week growth spurt!

How are nights going? She is teething and starting to roll; losing the swaddle is not being kind to us.

Tastes of real food? We let her gum a cold hunk of pepper the other day, more for teething than eating.

Any questions/rants/raves?? Dealing with a clogged duct - I think I've taken care of the actual clog, but everything is still sore and red. Anyone have ideas on how long the soreness will last?

My first time in this check in. Where did my newborn go?? 😢

How old is your LO? 3.5 months

How frequently are you nursing? We are sometimes nursing and mainly eping. He tends to only nurse well motn and early mornings.

How are nights going? He does not sleep through the night, usually 2-3 hour intervals. Sometimes he has good night and gets 4-5 intervals.

Tastes of real food? Nope.

Any questions/rants/raves?? I wish he would nurse well all the time. I loath my pump now.

How old is your LO?
Twins are 18 weeks old

How frequently are you nursing?
Morning- bottles at daycare- on demand at night maybe 3/4 times.

How are nights going?
Blah! Nights were going good with 1 or 2 wake ups but we are transitioning from RnP to cribs. It sucks.

Tastes of real food?
Not yet.

Any questions/rants/raves??
I'll take all the non-BF tips on crib transitions!!

[judyblume14]

opheliainwaders, did she seem to like the pepper?
mikaela20,props to you for EPing. That is such a commitment!
winegirl9, maybe work on the RNP to crib transition during naps first. Get that down, then add nighttime?

How old is your LO? Just over 4 months

How frequently are you nursing? On demand + pumping for work. If feels like my boobs are still always out.

How are nights going? Mostly wonderful. I need to figure out what made her gassy the last few nights because she's had a hard time falling asleep, but staying asleep she's still good at.

Tastes of real food? Yes! Tastes but no bites of lots of food. She's loved fruit.

Any questions/rants/raves?? None that weren't answered in my post. So I'll rave that it's supposed to be a beautiful weekend!

How old is your LO? Just over 3 months

How frequently are you nursing? Every 2-4 hours, depending on kiddo's demand.

How are nights going? Pretty good. He will do a solid 5+ hour stretch first thing (I think last night was 6 hours even). Of course I'm only in bed for the last few of those. He likes to wake up ridiculously early, though.

Tastes of real food? Nope!

Any questions/rants/raves?? I want to introduce a bottle and be able to leave him with a sitter for a date night occasionally. This scares me. We never tired to have DS1 take a bottle. I know the tricks.. do I just start them and hope for the best?

[judyblume14]

wildflower, are you a SAHM? I ask because we looked at our few (two?) date nights before i returned to work as "bottle practice" for when DD2 started day care. She didn't take the bottles well those two times and was a hug fussy gussy. Eventually, when she started DC, she was fine. Took her a day or two to get into the swing, but was fine.

[wildflower]

judyblume14, yes, I am! I actually gave DS2 a bottle myself last night and he took about 1/2 an oz with no issue... then got mad because he wanted to go to sleep. I'm calling that a win! First time bottle feeding any child, though... that was a different feeling!
