still nursing!! Posted: 03-27-08 19:09pm
It has been almost nine months since I had
Brian and I am still nursing. Holy cow! I
never thought I would go this long at all.
He is 18 pounds and is in the 95% for
height as well. He is definitely taking
after my husband who is 6'6. It is amazing
to me that a baby can gain so much weight
just by nursing. It is just so
incredible.
My other child is 4 years, 9 months and
weighs only 32 pounds. He is in the 10th %
for height. He is taking after me.
Genetics at work.

Yay. Good for you!! Genetics can be
funny sometimes. I think my daughter
ended up with my husbands receding
hairline!!!

it's inspiring to know you're still going
at 9 months. i'm aiming for a year so it
helps to know it can be done! my baby has
inherited my pudginess i guess. she is
almost 8 months and almost 21 pounds! i
can't remember how long she is, i just
know she is heavy because she's breaking
my back.
good for you!! i hope it keeps going well
and i'm glad your little guy is growing so
well.

I can't believe i'm still breastfeeding
too! Mika will be 9 months on the 4th and
she was weighed yesterday and she was
20lbs 6oz and is just above the 75th
centile for weight and is on the 75th for
height

Wow. Congrats on you two as well. Your
babies sound very healthy.
Brian is growing way too fast:( I want him
to slow down a little, probably because I
am almost positive this is our last one.
He has six teeth. He has only bit me twice
and that HURT! He laughed, little stinker.
Brian has been refusing baby food. I try
everyday but he refuses. Two days ago, he
took a spaghetti noodle off my plate and
slurped it up. He actually slurped it up
and started to laugh. It was so funny! He
also ate some cheerios. I couldn't believe
it. So, I gave him some steamed green
beans and just cut them. He actually ate
some. He refuses the baby food but likes
table food. I may just skip the pureed
stage since he is refusing.

Cheyenne absolutely refuses baby food too.
She is 7.5 months, but doesn't have any
teeth yet. She wants what we eat SO BAD,
but without teeth it's hard to give her
much off of the table. I bought her some
of those Gerber puff snacks. They
dissolve really quickly so I don't have to
worry about her choking; she absolutely
loves them. She's not been taking her
bottles (or sleeping) very well lately
either. I'm hoping it's just because of
her teething.
Wow. I didn't mean to make this post all
about my daughter. Your son sounds very
healthy!! Kudos to still breastfeeding
and OUCH for the biting!!

I am so glad you mentioned your daughter!!
I forgot that she was only 7.5 months.
He bit me again last night in bed. I
screamed! I have been cosleeping with him
and need to transfer him to his crib now.
He is not a good sleeper at all and wakes
up constantly throughout the night. When I
do put him in his crib, he wakes up even
more. It is something I have to do or it
will get worse (transfer him to his crib).
I am so not looking forward to this
transfer.
My milk is drying up. I nurse him all the
time but sometimes I know that I have no
more milk. When this happens, I give him
the bottle and he drains it in about three
minutes. That is so much easier than
feeding him for about 45 minutes at a
time, especially with a 4 year old. I was
just nursing him but it hasn't been
enough.
Brian is ADDICTED to those gerber puff
snacks. He loves them! They are the best
invented baby food ever.

How many teeth does he have now? Still no
teeth here. I can't believe he would bite
you with his teeth! ouch! I get bit with
gums and it hurts bad enough. Is his crib
in your room or is he getting his own room
now?

6 teeth - 2 on bottom and 4 on top.
Ouch. Just bit me as I was typing this.
The crib is in his room. It doesn't fit in
our room.
well done
