Hope all the mommies are doing well!
I lay back down then DD got home from school and is so friggin loud. Now I'm grumpy.
i hardly posted for the first three months of n's little life so i can only imagine life with two. but i always love when you pop in!! i gave her a dose of tylenol to try to avoid it.
puppmom said:All I wanted today was a nap. I have a nasty headache and N finally fell asleep around 2. I lay in the bed at 2:30, the dog joins me (taking up half the bed!) and the phone rings to tell me we have missed our dentist appts about 15 minutes after I get comfy!
Turtle, I REALLY struggled with going back to sleep after the middle of the night feeding. In fact, I wanted to punch DH who would be snoring exactly 3 minutes after going back to bed! I did get used to it though and now I go back no problems. I don't know how missing that feed would impact your supply but when N started sleeping 6-8 hours at night, I would be SO full in the morning that I could nurse in the am and still pump 7 ounces. Now that it's been a week or two, I'm not THAT full in the morning so I'm guessing my body adjusted. Can you maybe pump before you go to bed to offset that?
I so remember wanting to kill both my DH and my dog when I would finally get back in bed and BOTH of them were snoring so loudly. You'll eventually learn to sleep all night again, I promise!
, but what is the issue? I don't know the background, but I wouldn't try CIO for all naps and nighttime, might be too much all at once. 
). but ditto everyone else in that it sounds like you have a healthy supply and might be able to cut out that pump session earlier than i did. and i totally believe being happy, rested, and less stressed also helps your supply and i love the ergo overall as a carrier so i would recommend it on that alone. . i thought it would get easier, but really, it hasn't. if anyhthing it's harder now that he's more interactive.
..so i finally got a sraw sippy cup and mealtimes have gotten less damp we've moving slooooowly into super soft chunks of food that he's gumming happily. tooth watch 2010 has yet to show any signs of excitement 
finally dropped the nighttime bottle after the longest slowest wean EVER. finally added in breakfast consistently. finally dropped the third nap, which is nice as his day is less broken up and it's easier for us to go out and about. he's crawling like a champ. he's mastered climbing the stairs so more baby gates have gone up. he's starting to open cupboards so amazon is about to get an order for latches . he's starting to stand on his own!! longest clock to date is only about 30 secs, but it's getting longer very quickly. babbling like crazy -- can def let us know when he's happy or displeased
is in the next 6 months or so they are going to chagne that to veggie puree. i think some places in canada and europe talk about starting with a meat puree for the iron. we started with avocado -- simple and easy to digest and moved from there. i posted a few pages back on our first round. i did a lot of research on easy to digest foods and used those first before i went o the more gas inducing ones for my burpy little guy i haven't done any bought foods, but some of the other mommas here have and can make recs on what they're happy with. i was surprised how easy it is to make his food, and fun! didn't think i would enjoy it as much as i do. solids are def fun...enjoy! ) as silicone is an inert substance and should not leak into food, therefore should be safe for our LOs. meal time i just grab a few cubes, thaw them and voila! dinner is served. i tend to do single ingredient purees and mix and match according to my mood that night, adding herbs and spices depending on what i think tastes good. but i tend to cook for mself and dh the same way so no recipes per se here.

My DH CLAIMED to be a light sleeper before DS was born and was constantly begging me to turn the noisy fan off. Now, he can suddenly sleep through a wailing baby!
