thanks to both of you. and no she has been drinking some whole milk, about 1 cup per day for a few weeks now with no problems, i know she doesnt mind the milk i was just wondering if i should worry about her maybe not getting enough but i think she is probably fine considering she still gets fed in the middle of the night.

When my little girl was 10 months she was drinking about 22oz of milk a day. She might just need a little time to adjust. If she is hungry/thirsty she will drink it. Did you just start the whole milk when she started daycare? If so, maybe it`s just too many changes and she`s not used to the whole milk as well. I probably wouldn`t worry too much about it. She is getting older and if she is eating her food as well, she is probably fine

They say 18oz is ok for baby that age (thats what I made sure my LO was having). When I went back to work my LO went funny for a few weeks on eating and feeding. I just made sure she had extra snacks with her like yogurts/cheese and fruit etc to give her that extra bit of milk and food. Give it a few days to see if she settles and I wouldnt worry if she is still getting feeds before/after and in the night by you. This could also e her way of telling u she doesnt want/need her day feeds now! Thats what ended up happening to my LO she just stopped taking it and had water in the day then xx

she eats her food really well too, so i dont know if i really need to be worried about this at all or not, but i know milk is still a big part of it..

ok so heres the deal, my daughter is 10 months old and still breastfed in the mornings, afternoons (for now), before bed, and once (or randonmly twice) overnight. She started daycare yesterday. she has never really had a bottle but is great with a cup. anyways i sent her with a small bottle and a big bottle of milk yesterday thinking it would help with naptime. she only drank a couple of oz. today i sent her with a cup instead seeing if that would be better and she really didnt drink any of it. im not too worried YET because she has only gone for 4 hour stretches and was fed before she left for daycare. but i am kind of worried about her milk intake. how can i maybe get her to drink a bit more milk during the day when she is going for full days?? because im worried that if she doesnt drink much milk there she wont be getting enough... also, what is the average amount of milk a 10 month old drinks in a day?? since she is BF i never really counted oz. if it makes a difference it is whole milk (not formula) she gets during the day there.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
