Ok, I don't know what is wrong, but I'm not getting emails that new posts have arrived, but it shows me as watching this topic. I had actually just logged on to ask where everyone had been, and found 3 new pages of posts. I feel so out of the loop, and I tried to catch up with everyone. I figured everyone was either busy or not having much trouble lately.
Deb-Hope all goes well at the clinic.
Branwen-I wouldn't worry about the solids. Breastmilk is the most important for her, and I would just take it slow. I include solids as part of A time. If I feed her say at 8, I wait until 9 for solids just to give her time to digest and make room for more food. That's just my baby, though.
Christine-It's so funny how much our girls are alike. Kelsey still does her 30 minute naps, but 2 days ago she slept 1 hr 15 mins, 45 mins, and 1 hour. She was an angel all day!!! The next day was back to normal. However, she's been a lot happier these days even without little day sleep. I've also been puttin her in her crib at night completely awake. I lean over to pat her a say good night, she gets real excited and babbles and kicks, but I just go on and she rolls her head to the side and goes to sleep. She's even done this for a couple of naps.
Kelsey is having rice cereal with applesauce in the mornings (we are trying bananas next), and rice cereal with applesauce and carrots at lunch. She eats 1-2 T. for breakfast, but a bit more for lunch. She doesn't take a dinner because she is too full from earlier in the day. Our next veggie will probably be sweet potatoes. Some days she hardly wants any at all, but I don't worry because I realize the formula is the main thing for now. I'm going to introduce the sippy cup at 6 months or so, after her check up.
Well, ladies, glad to check in with you. I'll try to keep up better from now on.
