I don't know if this is any help to you, here is Addyson's schedule, formula first then right after her formula I give her solids, so she takes all her formula, and not as much solids since she is usually full. I only feed her solids twice a day, oatmeal cereal after her first bottle in the morning, and a veggie and fruit at supper after her supper bottle. during the day she gets 5 bottles anywhere from 6-9 ounces. feeding times are7:00 - 10:00- 1:00-4:30-8:00 then bedtime, and she will sleep until morning.
good luck

well, i completely understand why you feel some doubts about trusting him with other people -- my husband and i haven't had a date night since beckett was born, lol, ugh :) i wish there were some easy answer for you, but of course there just isn't. hopefully your new pediatrician will be able to help you figure some things out or, at the very least, offer some reassurance that nathan is doing really well, even if he's not a big formula eater. and just think that there is a light at the end of the tunnel -- in not very much time, you'll all three be ready to move out on your own!

You don't owe me anything, thank Bill Phillips for devising the program! The other perks you have noticed from the program are even better than the weightloss- I bet you feel like a whole new WOman! I love the new profile picture of Nathan! What a handsome boy you have

oh, girl, i'm so sorry you're feeling so stressed. you really do need a break. i know you've said your friends are just in a different place in life than you right now, but is there one friend that you can trust to watch nathan for an evening while you and your husband just have some dinner? or what about a neighbor, just for a couple of hours? i know you're feeling very bugged out about nathan eating, but (hard as it is) just try to not think too far ahead when you're feeding him and take it one meal at a time. beckett lost a lot of weight in the hospital and for a long time i was obsessed with how much he ate every time he ate. it's gotten better b/c he just keeps growing and is such a happy little guy, but i am still veeeery aware of how much he's taking in and probably will be as long as he's on the bottle (haha). i'm rambling now, but i hope the support you're getting from the moms on the forum is helping you feel more confident.

I have had a ruptured disc and severe nerve damage for some time now, but this last pregnancy literally was the straw that broke the camels back. The surgery removed the disc and a bundle of bad nerves that were covering it, but they can not fix the nerve that has the damage, unfortunately. I am in a severe back brace, can not drive, pick up anything over 5 pounds and can not sit/stand for more than 20 min at a time. It thoroughly sucks! But, it could always be worse. I really am sorry you have problems with your family, I have been there. It was not and is not fun to this day, and very painful emotionally. Out of a huge family (7 siblings), I only have a relationship with one younger sister. My relationship with the others were so unhealthy that I severed ties with them. I still miss them, and love them very much. You can't choose your family, but you can choose to let them be in your life. I only have my sister, my mom and her new husband left to my family, but we make the best of it. I just consider myself lucky to have what I have, because not everyone has family, by choice or by circumstance. I don't know if you were ever close to your mom or not, but you don't deserve to be made to feel the way you are. "do unto others as you would have them you do unto you" is one of my favorite sayings- and I stick by my guns. It is not easy. As far as the doctor's office situation....I work for 50 physicians, very closely and there are federal regulations called HIPPA that have very strict repurcussions. If you reported your issue to the doctor's office manager or the doctor him/herself, it would have to be addressed. That is a big step and someone would probably lose their job over it. If you want further info on that, I could give you the info you need to launch a formal complaint to the proper authorities. But like I said, it is a big step to take, and one I would thoroughly think through. We have people in my office that have been terminated on the spot for simply leaving a patient's chart out for someone walking by to see, much less discussing anything with anyone! I can not even talk about cases with my husband because it is illegal. I will keep you in my thoughts, and your son is absolutely beautiful, good job, MOMMA!

hey, i have a question for you. i know your mom was 'threatening' to feed nathan things you did not approve of. is she doing that, that you know of, like when you're not around? that might explain why he's not hungry for his formula. man, i know we've talked just briefly about our moms making us crazy and my advice is to make sure you don't internalize that kind of stress (not that you are) b/c it can really do a number on you. be strong, girl, and know you're doing a WONDERFUL job with nathan!

Hi there again. I just read your message on the public post and wanted to write you. I'm SOOOO sorry about what you're going through. I think new motherhood is stressful enough without PPD, being sick, and a mom who's not understanding. SOO sorry!! I think you're doing the right thing switching pediatricians. You should be comfortable with yours and they should never make you feel like your concerns don't matter. I just noticed that I wrote 16-10 oz. in my previous post, I meant to write 16 - 20 oz. I worry about the formula too. For awhile I stopped giving Gavin any "food' at all, I just gave him formula so that he would eat more, but honestly, he got restless so I stopped. I think if they get at least 20 a day, that's ok, but I think you should always trust your instincts, even if the whole world says you're wrong. So, if you feel like your little Nathan isn't ok, you should definitely go to another ped and get a 2nd opinion. I do say, I'm sure he's fine because he looks happy but I do hate it when people tell me that when I"m stressed out. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, and it is in NO WAY your fault! Wow! I can't believe people are making you feel guilty about getting sick, that's not fair. ANd with all that you're going through, I'd be pretty depressed too. I'm sure once you work out some of the things, you'll feel way better. Wish there was more I could say or do to help. ((()))

Way to go with BFL! Isn't it a great feeling to not feel sluggish and tired all the time. I found that by eating healthy I have a ton more energy and feel so much better about myself- keep it up girl!

janelle19 - Wednesday, 20 August
Oh, sorry! In all that, I forgot to write you about the formula thing. You know what? I have same exact problem! I think he's only getting about 16-10 oz of formula! He decided to slepe through the night which is GREAT but now he doesn't have the 10 or 11 feeding so he goes from 7 -7 no food. I asked if I should wake him up, but my dr. said no. He said if he's wetting diapers and gaining weight, he's fine! I know, thanks, lol, we'll still worry about it. I don't know if Nathan was BF, but Gavin was, maybe the change to formula, since it's so much heavier makes them want less. I don't know. Good luck, i'm sure everything is fine. Like, I said, he looks great!

Hi there! I was just reading what you wrote about your new mom worries. I know where you're coming from but it really is true that Nathan is SUPER cute and looks REALLY happy! It's hard on here not to worry b/c there are so many babies to compare things with but like everyone tells me, every baby really does things at their own pace. I was SOO worried about him not babbling AT ALL, and just today ALL day, he was like da da da da da. I mean it's obvious that he has NO clue what he's saying but he was doing it. So, differences come so quick I think we should both try not to worry so much about what they're not doing, and enjoy what they are! (advice for both of us because i worry entirely too much) They are growing up so fast, I learned my lesson after I waited for him to roll over and wanted it SO much and then I discovered how hard it is to change him now. Doh! So,I'm trying not to worry about milestones, since I hear it gets SO much harder to manage when they're walking and that will be SO soon! Ok, sorry for this incredibly long message! LOL! Nathan is just TOO TOO cute!! He seems like he's a really happy baby!

heeey! so i saw your post about your mom driving you nuts -- so sorry to hear that. my mother is making ME insane, too. UGH! but YOU are right and formula is not a load of bs! you know what you're doing -- look at how excellent nathan looks/sounds/is, etc.

oh, and on the food, here's what we're doing at my house:

1/3-1/2 c. oatmeal w/ fruit & a 5 oz bottle

6 oz bottle

7oz bottle

1/3 c. vegetables & a 6 oz bottle

7 oz bottle

(sometimes) snack of 5-7 meltaways and 1-2 oz of juice

1/3-1/2 c. rice cereal w/ fruit juice & a 6 oz bottle

when he's had solids, he doesn't always take the last oz or so of formula, so i wait about 20 mins and then he'll take it.
