hi

 

[sherylb]

Woo hoo Robin! I am so mixed up on my days I forgot it's Wednesday. Fairly confident though? Did she give you a %? I'm not sure I would start buying pink on fairly confident alone?

 

[Huggles]

Wow, hearing how much your babies eat makes me wonder if that's why logan's still waking for milk most nights. I think if he eats 10oz in a day it's a good day. 12oz is an awesome day. Don't think he ever really has much more than that. I'm really really struggling with him and food at the moment.

 

[sherylb]

When Kristin was about 6 or 7 months old she was able to eat 13 oz for dinner alone.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Ha! There is no way Connor would sit still long enough to eat that much.

 

[sherylb]

Just goes to show how different all of our kids are. Kristin usually finishes her food in 5-10 minutes.

I am trying desperately to get a picture of Kristin's latest teeth and I think she knows. She just laughs and gives me smirks instead of real smiles with teeth.

Logan used to eat super well - people were always telling me they'd seldom seen a baby enjoying his food so much and eating so well (though he'd never eat 12oz in one sitting!). But lately i just really struggle - not sure if his tastes are changing or if my food has gotten boring or if he wants more texture/finger foods or what. Just relaly struggling to feed him.

 

[sherylb]

For some reason I was under the impression he was eating well for you even with the changes to his diet?

 

[Huggles]

no, he's going through a really weird phase at the moment. Don't think it's got anything to do with the dairy/gluten free thing either. He just doesnt' want anything.
He used to eat mixed veg really happily, same with meat/veg mixes. Bascially anything i made he ate. Now all he wants to eat are oranges and avo's! If i defrost a mixed veg puree, he takes one bite and the rest goes in the bin. Same with my nice tomato pasta I make him. And meat/veg mixes. He just won't eat them.

I think a big part of the problem at the moment is that he wants to feed himself, and I struggle to find suitable things that he can manage that are finger foods. He can't eat big pieces of meat. I can give him a few teeny tiny pieces of chicken which he'll eat. But other than that i struggle for protein. He won't eat pieces of potato - doens't like how they feel in his mouth. He eats peas and corn, but that's not very filling.
I'm pretty sure it's just one of those difficult phases he'll get through soon enough (hopefully!).

The leader of our playgroup was just posting yesterday that her almost 16 month old is going through the same thing. It sounds like most kids go through it at some point from the comments on her post. Is he still eating PB&Js with his g/f bread? At least that's some protein.

Also - was looking at the nutrition of Cheerios and was surprised at how many vitamins/etc it has in it per serving.

 

[Huggles]

I put a very thin spreading of peanut butter on his bread 1-2 times per week.

On monday, when his tummy had been running, i gave him rice cereal, mixed with mashed banana and pureed apple for supper - wanted something easy on his tummy and that would bind things a bit. Plus he loves fruit and usually eats his cereal nicely. He ate it all.

so tonight i again gave him rice cereal, mixed iwth mashed banana and pear this time, and mashed in a boiled egg yolk for some protein. He ate a really nice big bowl full

I had a look through the Annabel Karmel book the other day, looking for recipes to try, and she starts the 9-12 month section by saying it's a difficult age and difficult phase and parents need lots of patience. So definitely seems to be something they all go through at some point!

 

[sherylb]

I have a feeling I'm going to have a really rough time whenever she stops eating purees so well.

 

[Huggles]

Seems hunger / how much he eats has nothing to do with how he sleeps.
He ate really really well tonight, including things like rice porridge which should keep him full for long and egg which is protein so should also tide him over well. And he's now woken at midnight for milk instead of the usual 2:30 / 3:30 just can't win!

I haven't been on here in a really long time but thought i would check in. I can't believe our babies are starting to hit the one year mark! Madelyn's birthday is friday and her party is saturday. It's bitter sweet I love watching her grow but am sad it's going by so fast!

 

[sherylb]

TLH -- I'm curious that your picture isn't one of Madelyn after she was born. You're not expecting are you?

 

[fides]

hey, there, ladies!! It's All Hallow's Eve, so I figured I'd bounce in here and say happy anniversary to all the November EDD's from last year!

I hope all the 1st birthday parties everyone's probably planning all go quite smoothly!

If anyone is interested, there is a group for Sept, Oct & Nov moms of 2011 in the baby & parenting group discussion area.

Well, hope you are all doing well!

 

[sherylb]

I can't locate that section Fides?
