I have a few questions...

Hi ladies!

I haven't been on here lately, and I've had a few questions floating around in my head - wondering if you all have any input on any of them! TIA!

Okay, so my first question - How often is your 10 month old eating (I'm curious of any baby 9-12 months) and what does your daily menu look like? Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks?

Second question - how often is your LO nursing or taking a bottle? I still nurse my son - but I've noticed a significant drop in sessions the last month. He went from 5-6 times to only about 3 or 4. He seems content, but I just thought that was low? Anyone else?

Third question - How and when did you start weaning (or plan to)? I don't want to wean yet, as he's only 10 months, but I'm curious because he's becoming less and less interested in breast milk. Also, did you go from breast or bottle to just regular meals and WCM/milk alternative with every meal? Just a tad confused on how to do this!

Okay, last question. We sleep trained my son (using Sleepeasy) in January. He did great, went from waking 8 times a night to about 1 or 2. Well, the past month and a half he's been waking 3-4 times a night again. I've left him for awhile before going to get him, but he eventually starts crying (pretty hard, and saying "momma, momma" and I can't resist) - He doesn't eat, but seems to want to comfort nurse, then go right back to sleep. Should I just leave him? Or try to pick him up, rock him, put him back down? He also has been acting sort of whiny/out of the norm for his personality during the day. I thought it may be teething again, but it's been weeks now with nothing popping out. Maybe separation anxiety? Growing? Agh! It could be anything. Just not sure how to handle it!

Thanks for reading ladies! Sorry for all of the questions!
