Or not. I STILL cannot tell whether E. really has outgrown his dairy intolerance. I did the milk binge- we had pizza for dinner with extra cheese, and I drank 500 ml of milk and then we had ice cream for dessert. And then I felt sick. E.? Had a normal night, was maybe a [...]

Get off the couch!
Posted in Food, MSPI, Nursing, Running on February 21, 2012 | 3 Comments »
So there is no getting around it. I am OUT OF SHAPE. Even though breastfeeding got rid of the baby weight, a little bit of it has snuck back on again in the last couple of months (a result of my continuing to eat like a trucker even as E. cut back on his feedings). [...]
Nursing again (or why are my posts these days always about my breasts?!)

Thanks for all your comments- as always, they are hugely appreciated. We don’t actually think E. is trying to wean at the moment. He is just busy busy busy during the day, and taking time out to nurse doesn’t seem to fit with his all-crawling, all-pulling up action lifestyle. We went from 4-5 feeds during [...]
Sleep is for the weak

E. had his nine month well-baby appointment this afternoon. The office was a total zoo- our appointment was at 1:30, and we didn’t get home until 3:15 (we live a fifteen minute walk away from the doctor’s). In the waiting room I recognized a mum with her son who is a few months older than E., [...]
The ninth month

Dear (not-so) little E., Today you are three-quarters of the way through your first year. And while I’ve wrapped my head around the idea that you are much closer to your first birthday than you are to that day of your birth, it is slightly mind-boggling to think that as of tomorrow, you will be [...]
Spoke too soon…

So the morning after I posted last, E. did this wondrous thing where when I put him in the crib for his nap, he just chatted to himself for a couple of minutes, flipped over onto his tummy, turned his head from side to side a few times, and then went to sleep and slept [...]
Grateful

First up, thank you so much for your comments on my last post. I suck at replying to comments, but I always really appreciate them, especially when you are telling me that I’m not alone! The whole sleeping-through-the-night (by which I mean not feeding) thing is so frustrating. It seems to be the one thing [...]
Would you like some fussing with that grizzling?
Posted in Baby, Food, MSPI, Sleep on February 1, 2012 | 5 Comments »
E. is manifestly not getting enough sleep these days. He wakes up in the morning crying rather than cooing and babbling like he normally does. He’s weepy and out of sorts all.day.long. He wants to be carried everywhere. He cries at loud noises. He fusses and grizzles. He doesn’t have his big smiles for everyone [...]
