Re: Come in if you have a 5-month old! Poll.
HI! I remember you by your siggy pic.
Welcome back!
Did you have a boy or girl? Girl
Babies date of birth? 10/21
Babies name? Sophie
What time does he/she go to bed? Sometime between 8 and 9. It's rare if it's after 9 or before 8.
What time do they wake up in the morning? I have to wake her at 5:30 or 6 to eat before I go to work and she goes to day care.
How many times do you get up in the night with them him/her? None. She STTN.
What time do they take naps, aprox?She takes a short one in the morning and late afternoon, and usually one long stretch in the late morning/early afternoon.
How long do they nap for? Just a half hour or so for her cat naps. Sometimes up to 4 hours for her long stretch. She naps like a toddler already!
Are they teething? She is a drool fool, and gnawing on her hand constantly, so I think so.
What has helped you with their teething pain? She hasn't had any really bad pain yet. When she does, I imagine we'll try tylenol.
Have you started them on Stage 1 food, yet? We just started cereal on Sunday. She did really well Sunday, but last night she wanted no part of it. I think I let her get too hungry before I started trying to give it to her.
If Yes, what are their favorite foods? N/A.
Do you SAH, or did you go back to work? Work. Boo.
Did you have a boy or girl? Girl
Babies date of birth? October 25
Babies name? Lily
What time does he/she go to bed? Between 7-8pm
What time do they wake up in the morning? 7am
How many times do you get up in the night with them him/her? 2x
What time do they take naps, aprox? 9am (45 min) 1pm (1.5-2 hours)
How long do they nap for? See above.
Are they teething? I'm not sure, but I don't think so.
What has helped you with their teething pain? I give her toys to chew on. Most recently she loves the Vulli Vanilla Teethers - thanks to a bumpie recommendation!
Have you started them on Stage 1 food, yet? Is this solids? If so, no. While I'm excited to start solids (and actually think that she may be given her obsession with us eating), I think that I will wait until 6 months. I honestly don't want to deal with the added step/mess!
If Yes, what are their favorite foods? N/A
Do you SAH, or did you go back to work? Work and I love it.
Did you have a boy or girl? Girl
Babies date of birth? 10/23/10
Babies name? Esmeralda Jolie
What time does he/she go to bed? She typically likes to go down around 8:30 - 9pm
What time do they wake up in the morning? Around 6:30 she wakes up on her own looking for me or DH and only cries if she doesn't see us so I typically try to do my hair or finished getting dressed so she can see me and wake up a happy baby
How many times do you get up in the night with them him/her? This varies. A lot of times she just wakes to comfort suck, but she's also teething and a very poor napper during the day. Sometimes it can be as little as 2 times or as much as 6 times.
What time do they take naps, aprox? According to her in-home care provider she takes a nap between 8-10 am either for an hour or an hour and a half and then the rest of the day if she naps at all it'll be for 20 minutes. When she gets home she takes another nap after she eats her 2nd solid of the day and after her bath, so around 7 she takes about a 30 min nap and then wakes up to play with DH and then starts crying to be brought to bed and I read and nurse her to sleep.
How long do they nap for? I think I went ahead and answered that above, lol.
Are they teething? Yes and I can't wait for her teeth to come out already. She's been teething for what seems like forever!
What has helped you with their teething pain? Humphrey's teething pellets and some Baby Orajel if needed.
Have you started them on Stage 1 food, yet? Yes. Cereals, veggies and fruit.
If Yes, what are their favorite foods? She seems to like all veggies, but is not fond of the fruits yet. I did try avocado this weekend and she liked that one so I will try some sweet ones again this weekend to see if she's willing to warm up to it.
Do you SAH, or did you go back to work? Work and I hate it.

Babies name? Emerson Ruth (goes by "emme")
What time does he/she go to bed? *Usually 9ish...but sometimes 10...11
What time do they wake up in the morning? 5 or 6
How many times do you get up in the night with them him/her? She was STTN for a couple weeks, but in the past week that stopped - she's been getting up once or twice to eat. Not sure if it's a growth spurt (which is scary because she's already in 95%ile for height and weight) or teething.
What time do they take naps, aprox? Usually around 9am, 1pm, 5pm. Can last from 10 minutes to 2+ hours.
How long do they nap for? Oops, did that one above already
Are they teething? Seems to be - she's a drooling, gnawing, grumpy mess. I want my smiley-happy-never cries- STTN baby back. DS was a grumpy baby - and still does not STTN, so I'm freaking out that my little angel is becoming a grump too!
What has helped you with their teething pain? She loves to chew on my knuckles, her hands, and anything else she can get her mouth to. I've given her acetaminophen a couple times - but doesn't seem to help much.
Have you started them on Stage 1 food, yet? Nope - tried a little bit of cereal and it didn't seem to agree with her, so thought we'd wait until closer to 6 mos.
If Yes, what are their favorite foods? Not sure - but she sure does eye our food like she's starving.
Do you SAH, or did you go back to work? I SAH and love it...most of the time. Because of 2u2, I'm not really confident about taking them both out by myself yet, so we don't get out much. I think it will be easier once it warms up, so I'm looking forward to warmer weather!
