I started a new thread! </p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oct-2012-babies-chat-part-2" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/oct-2012-babies-chat-part-2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-656941 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 09:16:49 +0000 Beebug 656941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hokay, so CIO night #1 was a success!!!</p> <p>Went to bed at 7:30 (late for her, which was dangerous but I think I was feeling pre-guilty so wanted to snuggle with her more).</p> <p>By 7:36 she was out.</p> <p>I went to bed 10pm, at 3:50 I woke (and thought, OMG!!!) and like 2 mins later she woke, so I fed and changed her. She took about half hour to really be asleep, she was asleep twice within that half hour but woke herself, and then 7:34am she was awake. I reallllllly think last night was a fluke. How on earth did she only wake the once the night I take the paci away?</p> <p>I just put her down for nap and she took 6 minutes and I can currently hear her snoring on the monitor. If last night was a fluke that's fine but I feel human again and it is awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-655368 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 15:00:36 +0000 Beebug 655368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.B: Ahhh you Momma's with babies with teeth!

When I put her down and walk away she follows me rolling lol.</p> <p>A new thread would be great! </p> <p> I forgot to mention A finally got het 2 front teeth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-655329 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:49:45 +0000 Beebug 655329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.B: Maybe time for new thread so fresh start and you (and I think other Oct Mama's) don't feel behind? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-655325 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:49:08 +0000 Beebug 655325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.B: Rolling both ways? So cool!!</p> <p>C hasn't gone both ways yet and going back to belly is thankfully so much less cool than it was last week and she's rolling less, which is a break in the sleep dept!</p> <p>She is trying to get her knees up under her when she is on her belly, but just not strong or co-ordinated enough yet, bahhh I don't even want to think about her crawling, insanity, they're all growing too fast!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-655319 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:46:24 +0000 Mrs.B 655319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: She is so stinking cute!</p> <p>I feel so behind in this thread.</p> <p>Is anyone else's LOs on the move? A has been a little rolling maniac. She had zero interest in trying to crawl but rolls to get where she wants to go. It is so funny to watch but now she cannot be left unattended on the floor at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-655242 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:22:31 +0000 Beebug 655242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: Good to hear sleep is getting better for you, I hope we join you in that dept soon!</p> <p>We tried CIO for her two naps so far today. Our first nap of the morning is pretty exact in terms of routine with our morning so I felt comfortable trying CIO knowing she was "ready" to do nothing else but sleep! 11-12 mins of crying and then it was like a lightswitch, out she went. Second nap, 1 whole minute!!!!</p> <p>So I wasn't going to start until tomorrow night but it seems silly to give her paci to her tonight now, so I think tonight's the night, eeep!</p> <p>Here is a pic from our lil photoshoot today.... </p> [attach=2471/13/mjz4hk.394x600.IMG_5093.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-652095 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 13:16:54 +0000 mrskc 652095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Poor baby. :( I hope he feels better soon. And wow a tooth! I keep thinking A is going to sprout one, but nothing yet. Sorry the weight gain wasn't what you had hoped. I thought it was pretty normal for weight gain to slow around this age? A little less than a pound doesn't seem bad. Have fun with feeding him oatmeal! </p> <p>@Beebug: Congrats on expecting another niece/nephew!!! hope C feels better soon! Sorry you had a rough night.</p> <p>A's sleep has improved this week. Thank goodness. We started putting down at his normal 7 pm instead of closer to 8 pm and he's been sleeping so much better. I also think maybe he was going thru a wonder week or something. Now he'll wake once before 3 am and my DH can soothe him back pretty quickly and he'll nurse around 4 am and then back to sleep until 6:30ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-651593 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 09:42:55 +0000 Beebug 651593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Sorry to hear that L has a cold! I think we took a few steps back with C. Sunday she seemed fine, and yesterday and today more she is all booger nosed and coughing again. Argh.</p> <p>She is currently napping like a champ, I should be too.</p> <p>My nights are awful. DH woke C by accident (took off her hat from bath) around midnight (she'd been sleeping since 7 with it on) and since he needed to get to bed, I took over and once I got her settled and back down, I was up for 3 1/2 hours, this insomnia, anxiety, whatever it is....going to be the death of me. C slept great the rest of the night thankfully. Needed soother 3x between 5:30 and 6, then slept until 7:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-650636 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 18:34:02 +0000 hilsy85 650636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: good for you on the run! And glad C is feeling better. </p> <p>L came down with his first cold! So sad :( He has a cough and a stuffy/runny nose. Last night he kept waking himself up coughing--I feel so bad. Luckily he doesn't seem to be in too much discomfort. </p> <p>He also has the beginnings of a tooth peeking out from his gum. Very exciting. But talk about feeilng like a shitty mama--I attempted sleep training while he was coming down with a cold and teething. I feel terrible and am swearing off any type of sleep training involving crying for now. We are actually doing pretty well with naps--I've figured out a method that involves no crying and gets him to fall asleep on his own. We'll see if that translates to MOTN wakeups (he's still going down well intially thank goodness). </p> <p>We also had our 5 month weight check; he was 13lbs 12oz, although this was before I nursed him. After I nursed him he was 14lbs (with a onesie on). So he's gained a little less than a pound in a month, which is pretty slow. The pedi said we could either start supplementing with formula, or start solids. So we are going to start solids. A bit earlier than I initially wanted to, but I figure we'll give it a try. She didn't seem terribly worried about his weight, so we'll keep solids just for fun, not push them on him or anything. She was pretty in favor of starting with oatmeal or rice cereal, so I picked up some oatmeal today and we'll probably start this weekend. I'm excited! Although not excited for solid food poops, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-648404 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:46:50 +0000 Beebug 648404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS I found out I'm going to be an Aunt (again)!! My other SIL and BIL are due end of Sept!!! We just found out yesterday and I am so thrilled for them. We were sure when we visited them over Christmas they would be preggo soon, and so happy they are! Another scenario where the distance between them sucks (across country) but of course that would mean closer to MIL, and noooo thank-you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-648402 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 17:45:04 +0000 Beebug 648402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is feeling so much better! Snot/discharge has really let off and she is pretty much back to her usual self. I had huge anxiety issues last night and was up from her midnight waking and fell asleep I think moments before she woke again around 4, so I am running on empty today.....figures I ran 7.3km today, my longest run so far, I better sleep well tonight.</p> <p>I am bummed about DH going back to work tomorrow, so nice having him home.</p> <p>Starting to look at planning our days for the Spring, going to do a library program, early years centre program, infant massage, stroller fit, and maayyybe swimming, I know C would love it, but I'm not sure I could handle a bathing suit yet.</p> <p>We will see how tonight goes, her last nap was a belly nap, and her breathing sounds normal and not congested now which is such an improvement. DH is giving her a bath now, my body is seizing up as a sit in a chair here, sore already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-647664 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:59:10 +0000 hilsy85 647664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRcCar: that is so awesome that you've made it 6 months of pumping!! Seriously such an accomplishment. And Hawaii in oct!! That'll be so nice, I'm jealous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-647662 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:58:11 +0000 hilsy85 647662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: aw oh no:( does he go back down easily when he wakes? Our LO was screaming no matter if were holding him or not, which was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-647660 Sun, 17 Mar 2013 08:57:22 +0000 hilsy85 647660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: yay! Congrats!! We didn't end up doing holiday cards and just did birth announcements. I initially didn't want to combine them, but it probably would have been smart, ESP if you have a mid/late oct baby...if you get pro pics done, by the time they are ready it's mid November, so combo cards make sense.</p> <p>Night 2 of sleep training was ok...he went down pretty easy, woke twice during the night but was easily soothed, and I fed him once. Then he was up at 545...we did checks over an hour, and he fell back asleep at 645 for 30min. I guess I could have gotten him up for the day at 545 but he still seemed tired...</p> <p>We are also now doing nap training, which I think is even worse that night time training. Now that we're no longer swaddling,he won't stay asleep if we rock him and put him in his crib...so it just took an hour to get him to godown for his first nap. I couldn't handle watching him on the monitor so I sat in his room with him and eventually patted him on the tummy which actually worked. It is brutal though...he is hoarse today from crying and I feel like such a crappy mama :( I also really wish we could have waited til 6 months, he's only 5 months tomorrow. Someone tell me it's worth it to help him learn to sleep better!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/18#post-647463 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:15:00 +0000 mrskc 647463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: I think we're going to do the same thing with the transition to the crib. We put him in there last night and he slept I think an hour. Just now he lasted 40 minutes. :-/ this happened when we moved him to the pack and play too tho. The stretches kept getting longer and longer. Although we've never made it a full night with out moving him to his bouncy chair. Hopefully the transition goes smoothly for you. </p> <p>@hilsy85: that stinks about the house. </p> <p>@Jennimac: congrats again! I did two, birth announcement and Xmas card. My newborn photog took longer than expected to get us the photos so they ended up only going out a week apart. Probably shoud have saved myself the postage and sent them in the same envelope. Oh well tho. You can save yourself some time and get all the addresses ready. You could even get them ready to print on labels. Much quicker than hand writing every encelope. </p> <p>@Beebug: hope C starts feelin better soon! Poor baby. </p> <p>@MrsRcCar: ah, yeah working is tough. That's great that u have your mom watching him! That's so awesome that you will make pumping to 6 months! Sorry about the sinus infection tho. That doesn't sound pleasant at all. Good luck with transitioning to the crib! </p> <p>You guys. I don't know what to do about A's sleep. Maybe we are now in the 4 month sleep regression only a month late tho? He used to sleep from 7 pm- 4/5am and then go down again until 6:30/7 am. Sometimes he'd wake at 1 am and I'd feed him. Now he'll go to sleep at 7:30 pm and then wake an hour later. DH will go soothe him back down. Then he'll wake again around 11 pm, 1 am, 4:30 am, and up for the day by 6:30 am. Sometimes he's been up even more than that. Last couple of nights it seemed like he was ready to be up for the day at 4:30 am. :/ I fed him and he was cooing and kicking around and wide awake. We've had to resort back to turning the vacuum on again to get him back to sleep. We sure were spoiled when he would sleep 10-11 hour stretches at night. Ok sorry for my long rant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-646620 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 10:46:39 +0000 MrsRcCar 646620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: DH and I have started talking about baby #2. We are looking to start again around June. Presently my family is planning a 10 trip to Hawaii in October. I would like to go and be comfortable for the whole trip. I have always said when we had kids that I wanted a boy first then two girls and then a boy. So far we are on track for that. </p> <p>Presently DH, lo, and I are sleeping on the couch. We just had new flooring put in and we have to let it set. We get our room back tomorrow. Tomorrow night DS will be sleeping in his crib in his own room for the first time ever. I am a little nervous about it. I love having him in our room. </p> <p>Things have been crazy at work. I have been working a lot more lately. At work we are undergoing a huge changeover. I am lucky enough that my mum is more then willing to watch him so I can work. I am not comfortable with any of the day cares in the area. I don't like working so much, all day I think about N. I am always calling my mom to check on him. I just want to be at home with him. However I need to work. :( </p> <p>I am almost to my 6 month goal of pumping. I am pretty sure I am done at 6 months. I have tons frozen and need to get on some strong antibiotics to get this sinus infection gone. I met with my doctor about my sinus troubles. She was extremely supportive about postponing until I am ready. </p> <p>We always have lots going on here. Today DH, N, and I are just hanging out and enjoying the day together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-646548 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 10:01:38 +0000 Beebug 646548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha DH and I totally just got in a "fight" about whether or not we'd paint her room whatever colour she wanted (pinks, bright kid fun rooms) when she's a little older. DH was no, and I would so love to give her whatever crazy theme room she wanted.</p> <p>I think I lost, he said let's paint one colour, then with decor, themed bedding (of whatever she would want) to have a colour explosion. I sort of agree now, lol.</p> <p>We were also talking last night about LO #2. DH says "we'll keep trying til we get a boy". I nearly died laughing, I think he wants a boy more than I thought, and now I'd like all girls! I think we're back on to wanting 3, but have a 2nd and go from there....we'll see how we feel after 2, ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-646536 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 09:56:40 +0000 Beebug 646536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: can't say congrats enough/so happy for you, yay Oct bbaby!! What's your due date!</p> <p>We just did holiday cards :) we didn't do newborn pics, so perhaps if you plan to do birth announcements with those pics then a separate holiday card would definitely be awesome!</p> <p>Bahhhh ladies, poor C. Last night was awwwwful. Up every hour/hour and a half. Her fever has broken, but so, so congested. We're seeing a lot more come out today (yellow phelegm, mmmm) so hopefully out is better than in!!</p> <p>I'm tired!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-646369 Sat, 16 Mar 2013 08:26:50 +0000 singingbee 646369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, ladies----I'm an October 2013 momma, but I wanted to ask you a question. Did y'all send out separate birth announcements and then holiday cards? Or just combine the two? I'm thinking since LO is due mid to late October that I'll have trouble getting my stuff together for announcements and holiday cards. What did y'all do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-645462 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 16:01:12 +0000 hellobeeboston 645462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: aww yeah - going back to work is tough - and thinking about it made me cry so much - I've been back about 4 weeks now and it definitely gets better. I have my days when I miss him so much, but once you get into a routine it is better.</p> <p>@hilsy85: Good luck with the swaddle weaning... I hope the sleep training goes OK - I hear ya, doing it in the MOTN is tough. we are transitioning J to his crib but doing it really slowly -- last night when he was up for his MOTN feeding (which hopefully he will stop doing soon?!) and I put him back in the crib, but he was up an hour later, instead of letting him work it out on his own &amp; get back to sleep I picked him up, he immediately fell asleep &amp; I put him in the Rock n Play. Oops... i needed to sleep though.... BUT he did sleep for 5 hours straight in the crib which is a new record.</p> <p>Also - ANNOYING about the house upstate - that stinks... But maybe they won't get any offers and come back to work with you down the line?</p> <p>@mrskc: hope A's sleep gets better... as I mentioned above - we have been transitioning to the crib. We're doing it slowly - we put him down in there, and let him go as long as possible.. First night was 30 minutes, then we got an hour, then the next night was 1.5, and last night we got 5 hours.... so i'm hoping we keep going down this path. I would be too nervous to have him in our bed - i would never sleep - part of our crib transition will also hopefully be better sleep for me since having him next to me in our room keeps me up a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-645365 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 15:17:19 +0000 hilsy85 645365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: @mrskc: I think probably controlled CIO--like Ferber, with checks. I am going to wait at least another week or so though..have to build up my courage and do some reading on it. </p> <p>I am SO annoyed...Dh and I have been trying to buy a vacation home upstate, and we put in a bid on a house at the beginning of the week. The couple has been giving us the run around and now we finally find out they re listing the house at a higher price and aren't willing to budge $1 from their asking price! So frustrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-645242 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 14:47:58 +0000 Beebug 645242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: Sleep was better, now she is sick. Poor thing, her first cold. Mega fever and mega runny nose. Last night was more awake then sleep, I don't even want to put her down, she's so much more congested horizontally. What are you going to do for sleep training? I don't think I'll be far behind you once she is healthy again and rolling back and forth.</p> <p>@mrskc: Other daycare checks were ok, we settled on one of the home daycare options, right near my work, she totally would have been fine at all of the ones we went to, but DH especially liked where we settled on, and I am happy too. Come Fall she will be taking care of her youngest, and three other full timers (incl C), whereas we saw her at her worst this week with March Break at her max of her own (3) plus five others....it was busy! Lucky for us we will have her out for March Break with DH off and I would assume I would take the week off too when back to work.</p> <p>I know this sounds bad but I am trying to compartmentalize the daycare, we hope she is only in X amount of time as we hope to be preggo again mid/later this year and would take her out again after the initial few weeks with LO #2 so she may only be there Oct to May or June.</p> <p>@Kemma: Gin, lime and lemonade? Mmmm!! I haven't really drank at all and I don't even think about it really, but that sounds yummy, ha!! I hope C follows Miss A on the back and forth rolling....so exciting! Cute pic!!</p> <p>This week has been great with DH home, and it makes me look forward to summer off together sooo much. I hope C gets better soon, poor thing, hate the sound of her all congested.</p> <p>We bought and installed her next step car seat and she loves it, she can really look around a lot more, but the only thing she doesn't have now is her hanging toys that she loved in her infant seat, so hopefully looking around more will be an ok trade off? Haha, not sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-644321 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 10:42:18 +0000 mrskc 644321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: "lick a pickle" I don't know why but this made me giggle. My son's sleep has been crap too. I miss the nights where he would go down at 7 pm and sleep until 5-6 am. :( </p> <p>@Beebug: How did the other daycare checks go? It's really rough leaving my son every morning. As much as the break is nice, I want to be the one taking care of him! I'm jealous you guys get a year in Canada!</p> <p>@Kemma: good luck with flying solo this week! I think I would go a bit crazy taking care of the baby 24/7 for a week! She looks so happy! And how fun with the rolling. I keep thinking DS is going to roll back to tummy, but he hasn't yet! He keeps getting on his side but doesn't go all the way over.</p> <p> @hilsy85: Good luck with the swaddle weaning and sleep training! A's sleep has been crap too. What happened to my good sleeper?! Last week we had a great week of sleep and now this week he's up at least 4 times. I don't always feed him and my DH will help soothe him back to sleep. I don't know what's going on. Ever since around 4 months his sleep has been getting worse. I thought this regression would end already? If I knew there was an end in sight, I would feel better, but it's not looking like it. Maybe we're ready for some kind of sleep training. We're considering trying him in his crib. Maybe us moving around is waking him? Or I've thought about trying him out in our bed. But I don't sleep well when he's in bed with us. What method are you thinking about? Sorry for my ramblings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-643675 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 07:53:28 +0000 hilsy85 643675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: so jealous of your meet up! Wish I could meet you guys too. The time change hasn't really seemed to affect us...Lo still goes to sleep around 630 and has been waking up around 630. i''m surprised he's able to go to sleep then though, because it's pretty light in his room!</p> <p>@Beebug: that's great that her sleep has been better! And big hugs about returning to work...I guess touring daycares made it feel more real?</p> <p>@Kemma: aw cutie! And so exciting about the rolling. LO has only rolled tummy to back once! Good luck this week, I'm sure you'll do great. </p> <p>We are currently attempting our first swaddle free nap, which is not going well at all--LO is flailing around in the crib. i'm trying to swaddle wean cold turkey now in preparation for sleep training, which I'm guessing we'll do sometime next week or so, after we go to the pedi for his weight check. He has been up like 2-4 times every night--it is BRUTAL. He doesn't even really want to eat sometimes. I can tell he's tired and just can't put himself back to sleep. Sleep training in the MOTN is going to be a biatch though--I am totally going to want to take the path of least resistance and just nurse him back to sleep! Waaah :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-643400 Fri, 15 Mar 2013 03:04:59 +0000 Kemma 643400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How are all the October Mama's doing at the moment?! Our thread has been quiet this week :-)</p> <p>I'm enjoying a Friday night gin, lime and lemonade to mentally prepare myself to fly solo for a week. DH is away for work from 730 tomorrow morning so it will be just Miss A and I at home (thank God my parents only live five minutes away!)</p> <p>We've had a pretty exciting week developmentally, Miss A has really got the hang of rolling and can now go back and forth like a yoyo (fun to watch!), she can also shuffle herself backwards off her playgym - this kid is mobile! I can definitely see that we're going to need to start baby proofing sooner rather than later.</p> <p>We're getting ready to start solids in the next couple of weeks, Miss A is five months old tomorow (how did that happen!?) and I think the menu will start with purees and then move onto BLW finger foods. We're still EBF but I've been experiencing pain due to bad habits and a lazy latch the crept in when A was teething and having her nursing strike. Thankfully we've had a really good latching day today which I think is a result of bettter positioning.</p> <p>Anyways, hope everybody is well and looking forward to the weekend! </p> [attach=1664/13/mjoztu.450x600.Rolling.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-631274 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:48:38 +0000 Beebug 631274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS I totally want to give all of you Momma's who are back to work the biggest hug in the world.</p> <p>We checked out a daycare today for the Fall and it was awesome, but the moment we got out the door to go the car I started bawling. Poor DH was like wtf...I was a mess. We are going to two more this week before we make our decision. My feelings/emotions shocked me a little because more often then not I'm so "I want a break", "I could go back to work now" but I really do need to value the position I am in and appreciate more of what our current situation is. Oye. I hope I'm not as emotional at the other two spots we check out.</p> <p>We asked two friends of ours (married on C's bday, I was supposed to be in the wedding party) to be C's godparents today, they came over for brunch and we hadn't planned on asking them today, but DH wanted to, so he did, they were thrilled and of course so are we.</p> <p>DH and I are splitting mornings this week, every other day I can sleep in, today was a sleep in morning for me and it's been awesome. C slept great last night, but I was awake when she has been, so the sleep in was much appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-631236 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:43:46 +0000 Beebug 631236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: C was the same re: time change, a little later bedtime, and 7am wake up! </p> <p>*knock on wood* last two nights have been GREAT and resemble something normal and totally ok, here's hoping it keeps up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/october-2012-babies-chat/page/17#post-631188 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:36:23 +0000 sorrycharlie 631188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: lol, I'm a Sept mama crashing the Oct thread too! our thread never really took off :( We actually skipped oatmeal and started with bananas, then the next night did peas. I mixed some (pre-mixed w/breastmilk) oatmeal in with the bananas because they were super runny though. She preferred the peas! She'll eat plain oatmeal, too. She seems to want to eat anything. I let her lick a pickle at lunch today and she tried to stuff it back into her mouth!!</p> <p>@mrskc: Olivia's sleep has been crap since a little after 3 months..she caught a cold so i initially blamed it on that, but it never improved until a couple weeks ago when I moved her into her crib. now instead of hourly, she'll sleep at least 2, sometimes 4 hours before demanding food. usually she's up at 6:30 on the nose..the past 2 days after changing her, she's gone back down for another 2! I don't know what's up with her sleep. I miss before she got sick when she'd sleep 8 hours, nurse, then sleep 3. sigh. </p>
