So turns out he only eats every two hours when he's around me. He only took two bottle while I was gone today. And to think how I was bugging out about if it would be enough. I had six bags pumped and pumped four 3oz bags at work. Better safe than sorry though.

How do I break him from eating so much when he's with me? He's gaining very rapidly and I don't want him to be overweight.

Lord have mercy! I jump so quick when I tip over bottles. I jump almost as fast as I do when I jump to catch my son.

He's adorable! Love the smile

Thanx

Hey girly, I've been MIA and missed some stuff..LOL
I think it's normal for them to do that. Some babies reverse cycle. It's where they decrease how much they eat when you are away and make up for it when they are with you. My son is similar, but he still eats when I'm gone. He will take anywhere from 5 to 15 ozs while I'm at work. But the more he takes when I'm gone, the less he wants when I get home which makes me need to pump by bedtime. So, I actually prefer reverse cycling.

ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!!! <insert excited face here>

I have slept alone in about a week due to my son not wanting to sleep in his bed and basically wanting to nurse all day and night. Well last night, on his 4month b'day, I decided to take a look and waddayaknow....This boy is cutting a tooth!!! I don't know how I missed it with all of the gumming, slobbing and nipple pulling he's been doing. I'm supposed to be a vet at this since he is number 3. But yall this one snuck up on me. My little man is growing up ...LOL

Please tell me I'm not the only one:

This sweet little lady doesn't sleep the night!!! She's going on 8 months old and wants to sleep under me all night and nurse for comfort. She will not take a paci,bottle and barely a cup. She will sleep from 2-3 hours and wake up and want to nurse back to sleep. My husband works like crazy so he can't help me with feeding and such. I just want her to sleep 4-5 good hours :-/

My son just turned seven months and he's the same way. I just remind myself he won't be this size forever! Soon out babies will be big babies lol. So I just have to take a nap during the day with him to make up my loss of sleep! I can't wait til the day I can sleep a minimum of 6 hours straight, preferably 8 or 9!

Idk if I want to Breastfeeding anymore

Thank God I'm not alone!!!!

Girl it's tough! I am blessed to be able to stay home. It's no way I could have done this and worked a full time job. I am sleep deprived and near crazy at some points. I'm like you, I just want to sleep at least 5-6 hours straight. They are growing fast so we have to enjoy it! She's already scooting around trying to crawl. What about your son??
