we have a tooth!!!!
he's got one poking out, top tooth on his left! no bottom teeth yet...
hahahaha he must know his mother's fr the northern hemisphere so he got his top tooth first. haha
we went for orientation at childcare last week and since then I have been trying to change Zoe's routine a little bit so she can fit in better with the routine at daycare. I have been thinking about dropping her to one sleep a day for a while cos her afternoon nap was always optional as far as she was concerned!!! So, just in the last couple of days I have dropped her to one sleep straight after lunch (about 11:45am) and no breastfeeds in the day anymore (one first thing in the morning and one before she goes to bed). It seems to be working pretty well so far. Although, yesterday i think she got overtired and when i put her down for her sleep she fought it hard for about an hour and then only slept for 40 mins!!! Getting there though....hopefully she will ease into childcare without too much trouble. I go back to work 3 days/week in about 4 weeks. ARGHHH!!
Good to hear all is well with you lot.
Ash, I hope it gets rosier for you as each day passes!
Hi laDIES, just a quick one from me -
We had lots of move dramas but were finally here, hopefully internet will be reconnected by tuesday.
Talk soon xoxo
Danda - good to hear Jasper isn't the only one without teeth! As I am still breastfeeding, I have to say I don't mind too much. I have been thinking of trying Jasper on one sleep too as he fights his arvo sleep so much, but he still sleeps for one hour, so I might wait a little. I would like to take him to playgroup which is from 10-12, so one sleep would be easier. Hopefully you going back to work won't be too hard on either of you!
Ash - Good to hear you made it to Yass; hope you settle in soon!
i understand esme.. i understand abt teeth and bf!! im getting a bit worried he might bite me.. i can feel his tooth when he's feeding, and it's sharp!!
if he doesnt bite when he gets more teeth, i'll go on bf.. i dont mean to sound selfish but i was thinking of weaning at 12mths.. but if he's good bf-ing w teeth i can go on for a while longer and decide when to wean. im just terrifed of teeth!!
I am thinking of weaning from anytime on now too, Prama. I have had enough. Jasper is eating really well so he doesn't really need it anymore, so I am thinking of cutting back to two feeds (morning and before bed) after his first birthday. At the moment we are learning to drink milk out of a normal cup (he loves his cowsmilk) so that can replace the lunchtime BF. Not too sure about the other two feeds, I don't think he is going to drop them by himself; he loves it too much. How many breastfeeds does Lakshman have? And how are you thinking of getting him to wean?
he has a bf first thing in the morning and at night before bed. during the day he has his formula. he has 3 milk feeds now. im going to change his formula to cow's milk but not sure if i should wait till his b'day or just before he starts day care. he'll be just over 11.5mths and not much difference i guess. will ask the nurse this week.
i just dropped his feed from 4 and he didnt seem to mind.
i dunno how to wean, havent really thot how yet.. i'll ask the nurse.. maybe just keep the night for now? i'm just thinking if i keep the night, he might sleep better?
also i'll have to ask, they said when they have teeth not to go to sleep just after drinking milk and that's it bad for their teeth. does that apply for breastmilk as well?
DD has bitten me once and yep, it hurts! I don't think it was deliberate and she hasn't done it again, so I am happy to continue BFing for the time being, but I'm not sure how long I will continue if she starts biting more often! It even hurts feeling the top teeth scraping against the boob, sometimes a lot, but she loves her boobie milk so much I can't bring myself to stop yet!
I have only just cut DD's night feed - I have decided enough is enough, so now I just leave her cry a lot longer than I used to at night and she is learning to put herself back to sleep. She still has 4 feeds during the day and I am also thinking of starting to cut them back. I am not really sure how to do it yet either. I think I will start replacing the mid morning feed with cows milk after she turns one, and then if that goes ok, I will start replacing the afternoon feed with cows milk too. I am happy to keep feeding her morning and night for the time being, although it would be nice to have my body back!
esme - i am also thinking of going to a playgroup that goes from 10-12, right at the same time as her morning sleep, but she still seems to like a morning and afternoon sleep. I think I will leave it a little longer and then try just one day sleep. I suppose it will also make things easier at day care when I want to go back to work.
Hi to everyone else, I hope you are all having a great long weekend!
