Starting at the beginning of December Brian and I are switching the boys over to whole milk.... slowly.
My question to all of you is this:
If you remember how you switched to whole milk, how did you do it?
What sippy cups do you think are best and how did you get them to only take sippy cups?
When does the night bottle (the 4th feeding) stop?
Not much has been going on with us lately. Just been hanging out and loving the weather. Friday daddy stayed home Friday so I could go shop at the Nutcracker Market! It was so much fun and then I went looking for stuff for the boys 1st birthday. Saturday we went to go visit our friends Jenny and Todd, they just had their second son Mathew. Sunday I worked in the church nursery and hung out with the boys. They are doing well in the nursery but it runs into their nap time and they start to get fussy, don't know what I am going to do about that! Then we went over to my parents and Brian and my dad worked on our car while my mom played with the boys and I just kinda laid back and watched. The boys are hating the pack-n-plays at my moms house for some reason so they are not getting good naps over there and we will be spending all week over there while my grandparents are in town. Please pray the boys go down for good naps this week!
And of course some pictures:
Brandon doing his head stand... he does this all the time
John finally liking all foods!
John is doing great with all the table food!! So for now we are good to go. In about 3 weeks we will start the transition to whole milk... so we will see how sane I will be then!
So I don't know if I am doing the right thing but I have decided to feed the boys table food before their bottle. It is helping since John is hungry and will try table food and he takes at least 6 ounces of formula if not more. Brandon loves eating table food but he will only take 4 ounces of formula and then has to take a break and eventually gets to 6 ounces and sometimes more. So they are at least getting 24 ounces of formula.
I really don't know what to do about John right now. I am so frustrated, not at him, just about the situation. For some reason the day after we started table food he has refused to eat. He will take his bottle, all 8 ounces but then will not take any table food. Yesterday all he would take were puffs and cheerios and today he would not even take that. The funny thing is we were sitting down to eat dinner last night and I gave him some pasta and he ate it. He will not take anything that has a slimy texture and does not want you to help him eat. I just don't know how to handle it and how to get him to eat a balanced diet. Brandon however will eat anything!
The boys did so well with the time change. It did not effect them at all which was so awesome for Brian and I. On another note John has had a fever for over 24 hours now. I don't know if he has what Brandon had last week or something different but we just feel so bad for him! We are suppose to get the booster shot for the flu and their RSV shots tomorrow but I am going to call about it with John already not feeling well. I really do not want to add shots on top of a fever!
