Every 2 steps forward we take with Joshua I feel we take 1 back. We were making good progress on starting solids for a few days but now he cries as soon as he goes in the highchair. We had gotten him sleeping 6 hours in a row without a feeding and now he is at 3-4 maximum.
I am taking a deep breath here and pausing. I need to remember that eventually he will take solids. He won't still be on the boob when he goes off to college. I also need to remember that eventually this sleeping through the night thing will sink in.
I heard this morning that Toy-R-Us is doing a trade-in thing. Bring in used highchairs, cribs, and other big baby items and they will give you 20% off any new item. I think maybe we will take over our old stuff and see if we can get a new highchair for a fresh start. We shall see.

I give Ian a Wagon Wheel when I put him in the high chair to keep him from crying. I'm not sure if Joshua is ready for something like that, but really they practically melt in Ian's mouth.
ReplyDeleteI use some tricks as well. Carolina's thing is her sippy cup - I put a lot of ice in it & some water & she'll gnaw on the spout or liick the bottom (it must feel good b/c it's cold?). I also give her a spoon or something she might be interested to play/bite on. She is a little piggy though & LOVES to eat - VERY unlike my 3 yr old who was definitely not much into eating, but more of a boob addict! I can't help you in the sleep dept, though. Despite her enormous appetite, she still wakes up several times during the night :/
