I love these two beautiful children!
Ds is almost 7 months, but I'll answer!
He was 16lbs, 13oz at his 6 month appt
He has been sleeping through from 8-6:30 since about 5 1/2 months
He takes about 3 30-45 min naps a day
6-7 oz bottles 5xday. Cereal and fruit for bfast and cereal/veggie for dinner
?
When we took DS to the Dr. for a cough last Friday, he weighed 13 lbs with his clothes on (he's a shrimp just like Mommy and Daddy). I'm not sure about length. We'll go next Friday for WBC. He actually sleeps all night on a pretty consistent basis. Last night, he was down at 8:30 and slept until we got him up at 7. He usually takes a few small naps during the day, maybe 3 or 4. He eats solid food once a day and 7 oz of formula every 4 hours. We're still working on the whole sitting uo thing. He can hold the tripod pose for a few seconds before he starts to lean.
How big is your 6 month old? 21lbs and 27.5 inches!
How much do they sleep at night/wake up? He goes to bed at 7pm, up around 6am...he doesn't wake at night anymore!
How many/how long naps do they take? This is all over the place. He usually goes down for a nap around 9, for about an hour. Another around 1, for around an hour also. But, it's all give or take...some days he sleeps alot more, some he only sleeps like 1.5 hours total a day.
How much/what do they eat? We are starting with 3 meals a day this week. He currently eats 24ish oz of formula, plus a breakfast of oatmeal and a stage 2 fruit...dinner is rice cereal and a stage 2 veggie. We are adding in a meat/veggie for lunch, and changing dinner to a fruit.
Any big things they can do now? Army crawl! He is so close to actual crawling it's scarey!
Not sure of her stats yet -- her appointment is on Monday.
She's sleeps usually 7:30-7 as of about 5.5 months; however, she was constipated recently and I think she's teething so she's started waking up once a night and having issues falling asleep.
She usually takes 3 naps -- first one is usually 1 1/2 hr, 2nd and 3rd are about 40 min.
She nurses every 3 hrs during the day. She eats fruit at breakfast, and veggie at lunch and dinner -- sometimes she only has two meals a day depending on what she's up for.
She can sit unsupported, play in a sitting position, and roll both ways.
29.25" and 19.3 lb at his check-up
On avg sleeps 7:30-7:30, waking up once around 5:00
He is all over the place! Sometimes 30 min, sometimes 2+ hours
Cereal, fruits, veggies, still nursing
He can crawl and just learned to get himself into a sitting position!
Haven't had 6 month appt yet so don't know length. She's about 14.5lbs
Goes to sleep by 7:30. Wakes up around 6-7am. Her sleep at night is kinda all over the place. We're transitioning to the crib (for the millionth time!) so its hard to say. She usually needs to eat at least once at night, but may wake up a couple more times.
She is not a napper. She probably gets 3 short naps in at daycare. She's lucky to get a total of an hour.
3 4.5oz of BM during the day at daycare and then I nurse her another 4-5 times throughout evening/night/morning. She has fruit/veggie for dinner. Eats equivalent to a 1/2jar or a full jar.
Sit up on her own, play sitting, can scoot around...not crawling but she can definitely move some.
S is 18 pounds, 27 inches.
She sleeps from 9pm to 6:30 am, most of the time.
She's an inconsistent napper. Sometimes she gets good naps, sometimes not.
Primarily breastfed, she gets cereal in the am and we're trying fruits and veggies one by one. She just started w/fruits and veggies 2 weeks ago. Right now the only one she'll eat more than 2 bites of is sweet potatoes - that one she LOVES and wants more. I'm kind of scared I'm going to have a 10 year old who will only eat sweet potatoes.
She plays by herself with her toys. It was huge for me when she learned to entertain herself!
How big is your 6 month old? 16 lbs 3 oz
How much do they sleep at night/wake up? 10 hours and wakes once to nurse
How many/how long naps do they take? it varies day to day- usually 3 naps
How much/what do they eat? cereal for breakfast and veges (2x a day)- 7 ounces every 3 hours or nurses every 3 hours
Any big things they can do now? roll over, lifts her upper half off floor, "dadadada", and she has two teeth
At his 6 mo. appointment on 11/26, he was 17 lbs. 15 oz., and 27 1/2 in. Definitely has rebounded since being born early and 4 1/2 lbs.!! (Sorry, just a little mommy's pride showing through)
Sleep has been kind on inconsistent lately. Last night, he fell asleep at 5:30pm (2 hours early), slept until 2:30, had a bottle and back to sleep at 3am until 6am. We can usually bank on him waking up once or twice at night.
We try to do 2 naps, but are usually lucky to get 1 nap that lasts anywhere between 1.5 and 2.5 hours. Yesterday, he took 2 1.5 hour naps (I'd love for this to be a pattern).
He eats about 24-30 oz. of formula, cereal in am and at dinner. We just started feeling him fruits and vegetables, so he gets those once a day since we're in the trial phase.
He's been sitting up on his own for over a month now. He also loves to stand, but not totally unassisted. He hasn't rolled or tried to crawl yet - he'd much rather sit or stand. Kind of annoying, but we're just letting him go at his own pace and encouraging him anyway.
DD is 13 lbs 3 oz and 26.5 inches (long and skinny!!!)
She goes to bed around 7, wakes around 12, and then wakes about every 2 hours... (nurses in bed)
Naps 2 or 3x a day, about 1/2 to an hour each, often in the car, in my arms, in the carrier, or in the swing.
Started solids two weeks ago (on account of her skinniness!) and she is really only now starting to like applesauce (after we've tried cereal, bananas, peas, sweet potatos etc). Usually just once, sometimes twice a day now. Otherwise just BF about every two or three hours.
Sitting almost unsupported, babbling like crazy.
DS is 16 lbs 13 oz and 27 inches
He goes to sleep around 8 and wakes up around 6-7. He usually wakes 1-2 times per night, not to eat or anything just to wake up.
He takes 3 naps and they are all over the place - he usually sleeps 3-4 hours total.
He has 4 bottles a day anywhere from 4-8 oz each just depends in when he is eating them. He eats oatmeal with fruit in the morning and a veggie for dinner.
He is just starting to sit
