Lenae - Food, Sleep, Rolling

[arkiewriter]

Lenae hasn't had a drop of formula since the 14th.  Bear wanted to experiment with taking away her 4-oz bottle of formula and subbing baby food instead.  We have a much, much happier baby and a bit less spitup, although you can tell her meds don't help much (especially towards the end of the dosing schedule).  The Prevacid is a pain to give to her

how long will you need to give her the prevacid?

Maybe I'll just fill up the bathtub enough to go over the little tub and use that as her tub seat until she's got control of sitting up.

thats what we do...X can sit up but i prefer the additional protection to the little tub in the big tub especially since he wants to stand!

She rolled back-to-front last week while playing with the boys on her floor quilt. Won't be long til she's mobile, I bet, although she still doesn't like to stay on her tummy.

yay how exciting! maybe she wont mind the tummy as much once she can move around

The Prevacid time could vary. Babies outgrow reflux at different times. J2 had severe reflux and was non-responsive to meds of any type (he didn't completely outgrow his reflux until he was 2 or so). Likely she'll have to take it for at least a few more months, maybe up to a year.

My sister has the inflatable duck bathtub and I'm thinking that might be a bit fun (but bulkier for storage if left inflated) during bathtime.

Standing in the tub - yup, that's a fun stage. Just wait til he's climbing out and streaking dripping naked through the house! ;-)

I hope she gets better on tummy time. J1 hated tummy time too (and never rolled both ways before learning to crawl) so maybe she's going to be an earlier crawler.

Awww, yay on the rolling!

Wow, Autumn didn't outgrow her baby tub til she was about 2 years old... what kid do you have? We have the white First Years tub with the blue sit up spot in it.

I hope Ainsley takes a cup early, Autumn was so stubborn on the sippy cups.

We have the Circo one from Target, which I think is the same as the First Years tub, but now that she's about an inch taller than the headrest part, she's toppling over when she gets excited, which makes me nervous on the bathroom counter, yanno? My sister had the blowup ducky bathtub (that goes in the big tub) and said my niece loved it, so maybe I need to find one of those to entertain her at bathtime... she loves baths.

Kids are so different. J1 *loved* his cup early on and we gave him one early to play with so he was used to the idea of cup=yummy. J2 stuck to the bottle much longer, but I think he was still off it by about 15 months or so.

I forgot to note that she's given up her pacifier too. She still plays with it and uses it as a teether (the hard parts of it) and throws it at her brothers, but she doesn't really care to suck on it anymore, even when tired.
