So we are on our.mini vacation. Went to our favorite restaurant last night which is not kid friendly. Plan was to order, take a walk, come back and pick it up. Owner saw us, asked why we haven't been in, introduced her to J, and we ended up sitting in the bar with drinks chatting to everyone for a half hour while waiting for our food and J was a hit! Then we did a late swim.
J went to bed an hour late. He was pushed to be in pack n play but went down. Up at 1230, are, right to sleep. Up at 4 refused to sleep, wailing, had to hold him as we are in a hotel. Finally at 5 I gave up and put him in bed with us. That little traitor rolled away from me, snuggled up with his daddy, stole his dad's pillow and slept until 8!
Getting him down for his nap was miserable but he's been down 2 hours. This may be a 1 nap day. I'm currently in the spa waiting for my massage and dh is in the room with j. He is taking him swimming when he wakes up then we will meet up for dinner. I can't wait for this massage. I need it!!!

king26, enjoy that massage!! All and all it sounds like its going pretty good but I hear ya on the miserable sleep. We went down the beach this weekend and M was miserable and didn't sleep really well in the pack n play at all. I think she is teething and was constipated too so that didn't help. I hope tonite goes better for you!

Holy hell J was up from 120 to 740. I tried putting him down for a 2nd nap at 515 but he wasn't having it and it just wasn't worth it. Especially since he woke up 2 hours later than normal. I'm scared to see what the night brings but today was fun. My massage was awesome, we had a good dinner, and went swimming after that. Its 752 and all 3 of us are now in bed lol. We go home tomorrow

Hey girls! I took a break from posting, but hope all of you and the LOs have been doing well! I don’t know if I’ll be able to read through the last month or so worth of posts, so forgive me if I post in ignorance. 🙂
Things have been decent over here, A turned 1 on Sunday and I was more emotional than I expected to be! We had a fun party for him and it went well. He wanted nothing to do with his cake though. Haha

Glad to see you back around @easilyunamused. Happy Birthday to A!
L has been cranky/clingy/not sleeping for the past few days. Well I just discovered she got 2 new top teeth, that were so not on my radar bc her gums are so swollen on the bottom. Weird.

Well I just discovered she got 2 new top teeth, that were so not on my radar bc her gums are so swollen on the bottom. Weird. D got 3 new teeth over the course of these past couple of weeks and i think that 4rth is close too. No wonder she s been a cranky mess at night with all rust she was dealing with... Hope L will have better nights of sleep again! |

What are y'all doing as far as offering WCM? Are you mixing with BM or Formula? I know king26 asked in the August questions but didn't know if anyone started yet or what your plans were. Will you start with 1/2 and 1/2? Go fully to WCM? Not offer it yet? Also will you move right to cups and ditch the bottle? |

I figure we will do something like an ounce at a time in the bottle to transition. Then we will transition from the bottle to a sippy cup when she’s at all milk. We also have to transition from warm/room temperature to cold. |

Except straight from the boob is not cold lol |

We are now 2.5 oz each and he is doing fine. Will probably do this for a week then go to all whole milk. It's the actual getting rid of bottles I'm most worried about |

Then do for a 5oz bottle 1oz WCM then 2oz until he’s used to it and then transition completely. I may keep his morning or bedtime bottles just BM until I finish my freezer stash though. Idk 🤷🏻♀️ My nanny is already starting to bottle wean 😭 we’re going to have separate milk and water cups and introduce a straw. Idk she tells me what to do and I say ok and do it. Lol |

Lol With T we did one style sippy cups for milk and another for water. It took a little bit to get H on board, but my thought was that she’d know what was in it based on looks. I didn’t worry about straws or cups until two years or so. But, I also don’t share drinks, so we’ve always had T’s sippy cup. |

I have already been giving M a straw cup all along for water. I guess I’ll just start adding a little milk to mix with BM and once she is fully on milk just ditch the bottle.
