Update and a schedule question Normal or not? Acne+rash, fussiness, screaming, sleeplessness, etc
In article .com,
"cjra" wrote: fussiness/screaming etc - she hardly does it in the evenings now, it's just the mornings. It's still there, but better. I think the main issue is gas - it's clear that's what's upsetting her, now I just have to figure out what I'm eating that's causing it. It might not be what you are eating at all, though. Part of being a little baby is getting used to the weird feelings of one's intestine doing its job. I don't think it's dairy, and I've avoided the usual culprits. When eating she'll just snack for 5 mins, now she is an efficient eater it seems, but still these multiple 5 mins or less snacks are annoying 'cause she does it every h our. I do believe strongly in feeding on demand, but this seems a bit much. Or is it? Is it normal? Again, I think she's *drinking* rather than eating. Along those lines, she'll go to daycare at 12 weeks, where she'll likely be fed on a schedule. How do I deal with the transition? Do I try to set the schedule now? or how soon before she goes? Do I just let the daycare provider do it? Scheduling is inappropriate for a baby that age. I personally think BFing (or EBM) should not be scheduled at all, but solids should be after about 12mo, simply because regular meals are easier for you and the child to adapt to. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.

: 7:30 breakfast : 10:30 morning tea : 12:00 lunch : 3:00 afternoon tea : 5:00 late afternoon tea : 7:00 dinner Well, that's more or less what I was thinking, but by evening I got a pretty good tea buzz going! :-) Larry |

Part of being a little baby is getting used to the weird feelings of one's intestine doing its job. That would be nice, since we're going to Switzerland in a few weeks and I'd be pretty bummed if I can't eat cheese! I just don't know what's normal gassy vs. problem gassy. She seems to be in pain when she has gas. I don't think it's dairy, and I've avoided the usual culprits.

I do believe strongly in feeding on demand, but this seems a bit much. Or is it? Is it normal? Again, I think she's *drinking* rather than eating. That makes sense, in which case, I guess it's not a problem. I'm just never sure when I need to settle in for a good long meal or be prepared to move in 5 mins (she doesn't like sitting still after those short sessions) Along those lines, she'll go to daycare at 12 weeks, where she'll likely be fed on a schedule.

I guess my hospital experience got me used to the idea that every one else lives on a schedule but us. I will talk to the daycare provider about it. I'd rather she continue to feed on demand. |
