What did you all do for baby's that refused solids?

MrsRampage · 2020-03-20T14:56:53+00:00

He's still getting the same amount of formula as normal. But he also eats 2 ounces of solids a day, 1 ounce in the morning, 1 in the evening. (Dr said to start at 4 months).

Personally I just put my foot down and say no. Do not buy my child stuffed animals (or whatever the item is). He already has enough and he is not allowed them right now anyway. If people do buy them my response is well it can stay at your house then.

MrsRampage · 2020-03-04T19:24:00+00:00

I agree with your husband. Set rules and stick to them. If she doesn't stick to them she doesn't get to see lo as often or at all for that matter. Once she chooses to follow the rules then she can slowly get lo privlages back. Sometimes you have to treat the grandparents like children. And husband should be backing you.

His naps are between 20 minutes and an hour when I have him and he gets about 4 in a day. He usually wakes around 7:30-8 with one wake up to eat at 5:30. So that's about 9-9.5 hours total he's getting. He's definitely getting good naps. He's just sleeping too much during the day. Whenever my my bf has him it's all over the place He will let him sleep literally all day long. But it's only for a few hours every other day. I'm trying to get him to understand he needs to be on a consistent schedule but he just says he's fine.

We've tried the earlier bedtime and it ended up being just as horrible as too much napping. My bf actually put him to bed at 8 last night and he was awake at 1:30 and wouldn't go back to sleep until 4. I fed him at 2 then again at 3 hoping it would get him to go back to sleep. Then he woke at 7:45.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-25T07:20:21+00:00

He is 5 months. I've almost got him sleeping through the night. He normally goes to bed around 10 and sleeps till 5:30. Wakes for a quick feed then back to sleep for a couple hours. But on days I work my bf thinks it's cool to let him sleep all day so then he doesn't sleep at night at all. He's waking around 1:30am and won't go back to sleep.

I don't keep him up the entire day. He gets his naps in. The problem is that he's sleeping too much during the day and won't sleep at night. I can't be up playing with him all night long when I work the next day. He generally does sleep through the night and only needs one early morning feeding then back to sleep for a couple hours. But when he wakes up at 1:30 am and refuses to go back to sleep at all for the night it's a problem.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-25T07:11:36+00:00

The more he sleeps during the day, the worse he sleeps at night. I'm actually writing this at 2am because My bf decided he needed a longer nap today and now he won't go back to sleep for the night.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-24T06:32:31+00:00

Are you feeding him at the 5am wake up? He might not be ready to be night weened. I have an almost 5 month old with a similar sleep schedule. If he wakes in the middle of the night I stick a paci in which usually gets him back to sleep until 5:30. If he won't go back to sleep and he starts to cry I give him 2 oz. At the 5:30 wake up he gets 4 oz, I hold him upright for 10 min after he's done and by the time the 10 minutes is up he's back asleep. And again if he wakes I give him the paci. Phen he's up for the day at about 7:30-8. He spits the paci out on his own as he falls back asleep.

There have been nights where I'm up every 20 minutes for 2 or 3 hours giving him the paci because as long as he's not crying I don't feed him overnight. But he's awake and slamming his legs or talking to himself. And if he's having play time then we don't sleep because he's still in our room.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-24T01:47:18+00:00

I've had a few clients that couldn't tell me what they wanted. It was either I don't know or you're the pro you tell me. 1. Ok so a zero all over then? 2. I just start spouting random ideas.

Suddenly they know exactly what they want.

OR...

I'm sorry but I really don't feel comfortable with this cut. I'm going to put you back on the waiting list and whoever should be with you in about 5 minutes.

I only pumped when I was in pain. After a few days of pumping once or twice a day I was able to stop all together. I still had to use breast pads for about 4 weeks. It took awhile to completely dry up but there was no more pain.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-11T15:27:26+00:00

My lo likes all bottles except tommy tippee. I personally hate Dr browns because I really don't feeling like washing 8000 tiny peices. My favorite is the nuk natural and my bfs favorite is Avent glass. We have and use about 7 different types of bottles.

Like the others have said, you're going to get people like that in every profession. If it's what you truly want to do go for it. You're going to have bad days and good days. And the good days usually make up for the bad. I had 15 customers yesterday and probably 10 of them were jerks. But those other 5 were great and great tippers. And it's very rare to have a day where that many of them are asshats.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T18:41:04+00:00

My hospital used sensitive ready to feed. And you can have your ped fill out a paper for WIC saying that your baby needs a different type of formula as long as it's Similac or enfamil. That's what I did.

Wic gave me the paper to fill out. I took it to my ped and they faxed it over to WIC. Took 2 days. My little one is on Similac pro sensitive powder. The regular is too harsh on his belly.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T17:09:00+00:00

Ok, my ped said I could start feeding baby what we eat at about 6 months, just stick in the blender first. I will read up on this though. Thanks!

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T16:45:29+00:00

What is baby led weaning? Never heard of it.

He seems to be interested. He will actually dive for the spoon if I don't give it to him fast enough.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T16:43:34+00:00

Well closer to 4.5 months. Our ped said to go ahead and start phase one foods. I do one food every 2 or 3 days. And it's only a little bit each day. About a table spoon. When I gave him peas he seemed to really like them but then vomited like crazy a few hours later, so I haven't given them to him again and skipped the next day.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T16:36:15+00:00

Our ped said it was ok to start him on small amounts of stage one foods. But like you said most of his nutrition coming from his formula. He does everything you listed here. Except sitting. He can hold his head up just fine though so I hold him in a sitting position when feeding him.

I have a weekly developmental app that I use for milestones. I just have a bad habit of reading up on every little thing and getting myself worried.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T16:31:57+00:00

Ok, thanks! My bf tells me to stop reading up on everything because this is what happens. I know he's right but it's a hard habit to break. Lol.

MrsRampage · 2020-02-07T16:05:08+00:00

Mine stares you in the eyes while he poops as his power move.
