Mornin' girls!
Well the jabs kicked Autumns arse lol. It didn't make her grumpy, but she did sleep from 11am to 3pm (last ate at 730am!) had a feed at 3pm. Went back to sleep till 5pm, had a bottle at 7 and then went to bed and woke up at 730am.
She had oatmeal today for the first time! Polished off a tablespoon an then finished the other 7 oz in her bottle. She LOVED it, she was sucking it right off the spoon haha.
OH! She had prunes for the first time last night .. she inhaled them (ick!!) .. oh God, she's gonna be shitting thru the eye of a needle today. Anyone wanna come change her nappys for me?!
She's currently freaking out in her jumparoo, bouncing all that built up energy!
Aimee ~ Hope you have a better day today!
Re feeding I think you should go with instinct. I, like you wanted to wait, but Lil Miss did not want to wait haha. Just gotta do what works best for you and Earl. There's nothing wrong with starting with mush, and at 6 months you can transition from the mush to BLW with the finger foods. It's what I plan to do anyways.
Re voice, yes Autumn has found that high pitch screech that only dogs can hear. That's been ...... "fun".
Eswift ~ Do you think you could have a touch of post natal depression? (I've had depression since I was 11 on and off and the first sign it's coming back is isolation, weepiness and total lack of energy ... )
I'd pop to your Dr and just have a chat to him/her and see what they say .. My friend who just had a little girl 4 weeks ago is suffering a lil bit with it and they popped her on some happy pills and now shes feeling a lot better!
Colsy ~ Well done Monty!! Thats excellent! You'll get there with getting out the door, just do what I do when I arrange to meet someone, tell your self 10, but tell them 11, then we normally end up getting there about the same time haha.
Re the sleeping .. just breath and enjoy it, don't try and analize it too much, you'll drive your self INSANE. About once a month Autumn will have a 2 day sleepathon (growth spurt) and pretty much just wake up to eat. You gotta think, they are growing at a great rate of knots and sometimes they just need a recharge. After the 2 days sleepathon, she'll go back to her normal pattern of 7pm to 7am, nap at 930am (1-2 hours) .. 30 min nap about 12ish and then 2 hours about 3pm.
Jo ~ Glad the weening is going well. I'm going to start to make my own stuff too, I just wanted to see what she liked first so I didn't make this batch and it was wasted. The Gerber pre made foods are pretty good here, all it is, is the veg with a bit of water. I've pretty much discovered at Lil Miss would eat anything lol.
Sorry your DD is being bullied. That sucks, I was really bullied at school. In those days tho, you just had to suck it up, teachers thought it was kids being "high spirited".
Kte ~ Sorry Chloes tooth is giving her jip. Autumn really loves it when I take her dummy and rub it along her gums if they are bugging her. She starts going OooooHHH Ahhhhhh Ahhhhh MMmmmmm Like its the best feeling EVER haha.
Ok I gotta get some breakfast!
