I had my little vent to you girls and my mum, and am now feeling that I am doing the best for my princess when I do go back to work. It just means my days off with her she will bestuck in my arms all day for cuddles.
I do have a question, I am still Bfeeding B 5 times a day (I have done the routine feeding since she was born, same time, everyday, I think it is my Nurse tendencies!) anyway, this is what her routine looks like:
7am - BF for 15mins
830am - 2 - 3 tbls of FAREX and puree
9am - 11am - SLEEP!!
11/1130am - BF of 3-5mins
2/230/300pm depending on what time she stopped mucking around for her sleep, she will BF for 10 - 20mins
530/600pm - BF 5mins
630pm - 2tbls pumpkin/vegies (vary rarely eats that much!)
8pm - 30min BF/cuddle then to bed!
My questions are: Should I stop BF first before solids (B is 7 months+), how do I get her to eat more vegies at night? She does play with finger food of steamed carrot sticks etc. Also, when should I start pureeing meats etc.? and is 5 BF's too many?
B is a great sleeper and has 3 sleeps a day (big one in the morning, half at lunch, and a quick recharge nap at 4 then sleeps all night). I have always woken her in the mornings at 7 as my DH changes her and gets to see her before he goes to work otherwise we sleep in on the wkends She is just starting to crawl and has 2 bottom teeth (got her first at 4mths!!! with the other close behind at 4 1/2mths!).
