Wow, the end of BFing for some of you. Part of me really wants to get there soon, and part of me doesn't mind carrying on as long as S is interested. She still feeds after breakfast and before bed, and sometimes after lunch if we're home for her pm nap as well as during the night if she wakes up, which is only occasionally now. She has absolutely no interest in drinking cow's milk (though I give it to her in her breakfast cereal/porridge) and she eats more natural yogurt than anyone I have ever met. If anyone encounters a shortage of the stuff in North London, it's probably her fault. I've tried several different sippy cups, trying to get her to take milk, but she just won't go for it. She drinks water during the day, but not much of that either -- maybe 2 or 3 ounces. Any suggestions on how to get her to take more and drink milk would be appreciated!
sam Hope you're almost over your cold and are feeling better after the coccyx crisis.
lozario Re: MMR, S had hers about two weeks ago. She was absolutely fine but did develop a very faint rash around her neck about 3 days later. Didn't get too fussy or anything, though, which was a huge relief.
Re: tummy sleeping, I used to flip S back over when she started doing it at three months bc she couldn't turn from her tummy to her back for a long time, but that would only wake her up, so I eventually took a deep breath and stopped.
Re: the "Wonder Weeks" There's one at 55 weeks (but I think the fussy period starts a few weeks before that) and then another around 64 weeks or so.
I hope you manage to get a bit of a break for yourself soon -- sounds like you really deserve it. I'm already feeling a bit daunted by the idea of being a SAHM of two soon.
Sabine is signing a lot now. Yesterday I said I was going to wash my hands, and she signed washing hands even though I had only shown her it once. She signs brushing teeth and eating, too. She says "yum" and "uh-oh" and a few other little things. She still only has four teeth and even the top ones aren't fully in after two months. Crazy! Still chews on everything though, so really hoping she'll get a bunch very soon. Cruising lots but not walking on her own yet; still likes to hold both my hands when we walk together, gets worried if I only offer one.
In other news, I'm now 10 weeks with DC2 and have my 12-wk scan later this month. Have been pretty exhausted and nauseated and not spending much time online, and mostly lurking when I am around. I'm back to sleeping when S sleeps during the day so am getting even less accomplished than usual. Fx for a rebound in energy in a few weeks, although last time I felt ill until around 16 weeks.
OK, off to make dinner while the thought doesn't make my stomach turn. Hope you all have lovely evenings.
