A what a wonderful 6 months it has been. Gosh, I just love him so much..... He's so darn cute! I can't believe I've been happily breastfeeding for 6 months. I always said I would like to BF for 6 months if I can, but would be ok for 3 months. Now I'm planning to go to 12months, well 14, 12 corrected.
BJ has been a bit grizzly since his shots on Thursday. Just very whingy. He's been sleeping well though. Not feeding at that great, but that's ok cause he weighed 7.6kgs on Thursday. He's still in the 75th percentile for his corrected age. Everything else is the 50th percentile. I was a little concerned a couple of weeks ago cause he'd only put on 370g in 4 weeks. So I've made an effort to push him a little more for his feeds, now feeding off both sides, and it's paid off. He put on 180g in 9 days.
The GP suggested I start him on Farex to up his iron. As it's the last few weeks of pregnancy that babies store iron & BJ missed out on that. Yesterday I mixed 1/4 teaspoon with EBM, it made up about 1 teaspoon. He took the lot, no problem at all. Actually he could've had alot more but I want to start him really slow. I'll keep doing this for 3 days, then gradually increase the portion. He's only 4.5 months corrected so I'm just gonna keep him of Farex for 3 or 4 weeks. Then I'll introduce veges, then fruit. It's very exciting.
I haven't been going to yoga as i've been doing it at home. It's much easier to do first thing in the morning so I don't disturb BJ too much. Have been alternating yoga with walking. I'm thinking of joining BELFIE & CSAB for the WW online. I'd like to lose 12kgs, before BJ's christenening in June.
Ummmm, what else....... I've just read the book Contented Little Baby Book. It's similar to save our sleep. I'm actually gonna try the routine. Though I think I'll add an extra nap in the afternoon as BJ already sleeps through the night & is currently having that nap. The routine I was doing doesn't work anymore cause BJ isn't sleeping as much. I just prefer to have a routine. That's just me I guess.
