Q&A - Would anyone like to see more weekly threads? Confessions and UO together? A two ups/two downs at the end of the week? Are we too slow for more threads? Any ideas?

[whatsit]

Yeay! I remembered on a Wednesday!

Age: 5 months

Rants/Raves: I would really like for this kid not wake up 3+ times a night.

Milestones: well... she’s been rolling and sliding on her belly a lot and moves around quite well. Today she got stuck under the change table. Lol.

Q&A - I’m not a good person to answer since I’m horrible at keeping up. I really wish tapa would send me alerts for this board but it just won’t.

*poof*

[alwayscheese]

Age: 5 months. Plus a week

Rants/Raves: mainly just want to figure out if he's having a growth spurt or teething pain or hunger or all the above all we can help him and all get more sleep. He's getting Tylenol tonight for teething per pedi.

Milestones: um 4m sleep regression wah!

Q&A - Would anyone like to see more weekly threads? Confessions and UO together? A two ups/two downs at the end of the week? Are we too slow for more threads? Any ideas? I don't get alerts either whatsit, it's annoying.

Eta my idea was that I might do better about posting with more specific "questions to answer"

[clementine]

Age:5 months (6 next week!)

Rants/Raves: I am still constantly stressing about how much (or rather, how little) he’s eating. He nurses anywhere from 2-10 min each time and I feel like he usually drains the boob but not always. At daycare though, he’ll only drink anywhere from 1-3 oz every 2 hours. Sometimes he’ll only take a few gulps or drink none at all. Most bottles he’ll take a little at first, then take a little more a half hour later. He’s gaining weight... slowly. Idk. Is he just not a big eater?

Milestones: officially in size 3 diapers, starting to wear 6 month clothes

I’m up for more threads! Any of the ones you suggested sound good to me.

Poof

Age: 5 months (and one week)

Rants/Raves: We are having eating issues still. He’s dropped down to gaining 11g/day which the dr is a tad concerned about. So I’m doubly concerned. I’m trying to up my supply but he does not eat well. It’s tiring.

Milestones: He rolls pretty well both ways and is grabbing toys like nobody’s business. And he’s super chatty

It’s pretty slow but it’s summer too. I’m sure it will pick up a bit after all the vacations etc are done.

Age: 5 months on Sunday

Rants/Raves: I feel like I ranted about her a lot lately so I'm going to rave about how well she did on the plane last week. She didn't cry or fuss aland either slept or just chilled on my lap. And overall she did really well on our trip for it being so hot and our routine being thrown off she was a trooper.

Milestones: rolling all over. She also moves herself all over the floor. I'm not ready for a mobile baby.

I'm down for more threads. It has been pretty slow here but I think once summer is over things will pick up a little. I also think a few recently went back to work so hopefully once things slow down a bit for them they will be able to post more. Poof

[babybean]

My post got lost so I’m typing from memory.

5 months today.

She wakes 1-3 times at night now but is easy to settle so I’m just rolling with it. I thought the 4 month regression was a permanent change to their sleep patterns but idk. I’d like her to STTN again.

Sitting up, rolling and started rocking on hands and knees last night. (Pray for me that she doesn’t start crawling soon)


Poof

[babybean]

+1 to it being slow for summer. Idk that more threads would boost posts.

[snowmoon]

Age: 4.5 months

Rants/Raves: sleep still sucks. She's a super chill baby in all other departments though. Lately she's been so aware of her body that she just wants to move all the time. She pulled herself up from sitting the other day and if she's on her back she scoots all over the floor.

Milestones: first road trip, first time meeting her paternal grandparents. First swing ride at the park! She's tripod sitting, too.

I think it's mostly just slow because it's summer. I like the idea of sharing ups and downs weekly.

babybean, B keeps getting up on his toes and elbows and trying to push himself forward and I keep praying this is just a fun game and not like prep for crawling. Fingers crossed for both of us

[mrsmonogrammed]

Age: he turned 4 months last Saturday

Rants/Raves: he has a little cold so his sleep schedule has been a little off- he’s been waking early and disrupting my morning get ready routine! But he’s a good sleeper in general so I’m still thankful.

Milestones: moving in to 3/6m clothes and occasionally going to sleep without the paci

I’m all for more threads! No ideas on specific ones though😬



Bedtime snuggles in DD’s bed!

[Leaf 🌱]

Age: 4 months this week

Milestones: survived shots, is rolling and squirming around like crazy, and talks up a storm. She’s just so so chatty and responsive and I love it. I really need to move her into her nursery. My plan is to finish it tonight and tomorrow and move her in. I really need to find the baby monitor and figure out how to use the Owlet 😬 cornpop do you still use yours? Any tips or tricks?

She’s also almost officially into 9mos clothes despite not being too heavy or tall. She’s right on the cusp but her super chunky thighs are starting to look a little squished.

Rants/Raves: She hates all the “baby holders” I have so my three RnPs, the swing, and the halo bassinet are all getting sold. I’m picking up a new high chair that I’m super excited about and will get a couple bouncers (my mom needs one) at the next big consignment sale.

We’re also fully in the swing of our normal routine with me back at work. I was so stressed the last week of maternity leave but DD2 is taking bottles like a champ now and I am loving being back.

[cornpop]

Leaf 🌱 we actually returned ours a while ago. It kept losing connection with the base but not alerting us so it was pointless.

[woodenshoes]

Age: 5 months

Rants/Raves: L is sleeping. We have been sleep training and we now get an 8 hour stretch almost every night. He has been waking up at 5:30 most mornings though...ugh. Also, I gave him crib naps today. One was close to two hours and the other 1 hour.

Milestones: There is a hurricane with his name right now in the pacific. He is really getting into playing or interacting with toys.

Q&A - Would anyone like to see more weekly threads? Confessions and UO together? A two ups/two downs at the end of the week? Are we too slow for more threads? Any ideas? I would participate in those kinds of threads especially now that I am back to work and will be using a computer more frequently.

I didn’t take any new pics this week so here is his 5 months picture.
