Ok so I’m doing it right by only 1 meal a day for now? When should i up the intake to 2-3 meals? I know it’s just for practice right now and not necessarily for nutritional value so I’m not super worried about it. I just don’t want to be slacking ha We don't always get one meal with some purees in. She still isn't very interested, so every few days we will give her some. She will be home with me until July 8th since I have next week off (woohoo!!!) and I will probably be a little more diligent about giving her solids at least once a day.

sunfrogger Henry is pretty much a belly only sleeper now. He almost immediately rolls to his belly. Our pediatrician tells us as long as they can roll both ways it’s ok as long as you start them on their back. I just put C down on his belly. If I lay him down on his back he’ll roll there anyway and putting him that way originally means 95% success of transfer.

sunfrogger we are team belly. She's very comfy like that! Our ped says if they can get there, leave them be to sleep. (I'm not a doc, clearly) Any one else going the baby led weaning route, speaking of foods? V is getting very good at sitting up by herself so I think we will start in a couple weeks maybe (or sooner). We'll prob start with steamed carrot sticks. I did let her lick a bit of avocado off my finger today, she seemed to enjoy that taste! Yes we will do BLW around 5.5/6m. I will start with avocado like I did with DS1 and move from there.

kbw I’m really just ready for someone to decide she is just going to be small. The problem I guess is that she dropped from the 30th percentile to not on the charts since she was 10 days old, and was consistently dropping. And we do weighed feedings at every weight check. She usually takes 4.5-6 ounces so home girl is definitely taking in enough milk, just not keeping in enough I guess. Also I think my milk isn’t super fatty. I’ve got enough, but it isn’t very caloric. Or something. Who the hell knows.
