How old is baby? 9m 2w
How often are you nursing? Solids? 3-4 times on days I work in office. 6-8 on days we're together all day.
Usually 4-8oz of purees a day. Maybe some cereal too. He still seems to struggle with pieces some days. Yesterday I gave him one of those Gerber fruits with "lil' bits" in it and he gagged/choked on one enough he threw it up. Yet the day before he ate similarly sized bites of french fries with no trouble. I'm sure it's just something that will happen once in a while as he gets better at chewing, but it makes me nervous to give him anything he'd have to chew/mash up.
How are nights? I'm starting to think growth spurt maybe. We're now at a week+ of him waking up between 10pm-midnight after having been STTN. I was too tired to work on getting him back to sleep last night so I gave up after 15 minutes and nursed him and he actually really nursed. Not just comfort nursing. I don't like wasting time trying to get him back to sleep if he actually needs to eat, but I don't want to always jump to feeding him and have him take steps back from STTN.
How is pumping/nursing going? Same as last week, pretty good, except once in a while when he bites me.
Any bf/pumping goals? Goal updates? No change. Hoping to make it to a year at least.
Q/rants/cute stories: He's been making "ba" noises for a little bit and the other day I noticed he was making more "boo" noises. He was hungry and I think he was trying to say "boob", lol.

Been a while since I've been in here!
How old is baby? 8 months Friday!
How often are you nursing? Solids? Nursing about 5-7x a day and solids 2x a day.
How are nights? They were great. This past week or so he's been waking up twice MOTN. So, he went from not having any MOTN wakings to 2, sometimes 3. I'm hoping it's a growth spurt or maybe he's mastering a new skill and this will all pass and we can resume normal activity.
How is pumping/nursing going? Nursing is great. No issues.
Any bf/pumping goals? Goal updates? Just want to do it for a year. The thought of weaning terrifies me. I was pregnant when I was nursing my first so the weaning sort of just happened on its own and he was fine with it. This time around I am nervous he won't want to wean when I am ready!

waitwhat - We've been dealing with the MOTN wake ups all of a sudden too so last night I fed him cereal just prior to his pre-bed nursing session and he STTN. So I'm assuming growth spurt here as well and he just needs some more food right now. Maybe try a little extra something before bed to see if that helps?

Glad you got some sleep last night! |
