12:14:29 |
meeshelly12 |
hi darcy |
|
12:14:38 |
Host_Housepoet |
My son had avocado at 6 months but

months |
|
12:14:44 |
Darcy |
Cali - that's great! |
|
12:14:49 |
Host_Housepoet |

|
12:15:18 |
theotherhand |
Owen started solids at 8.5 months...he
snuck a breadstick off the coffee table
;) |
|
12:15:19 |
Mod_ariana |
and usually these things do heal on
their own |
|
12:15:22 |
Darcy |
Joseph is wearing Aiden's clothes today. |
|
12:15:30 |
Host_Housepoet |
is he?!? |
|
12:15:33 |
Host_Housepoet |
what's he wearing? |
|
12:15:57 |
Darcy |
My husband swears Joseph will start
himself on solids while our backs are
turned. He is so freakin' mobile! It
happened so suddenly. |
|
12:16:41 |
Darcy |
Yellow t-shirt with a giraffe on the
front (kind of embroidered on) and grey
cargo shorts. |
|
12:18:17 |
therealocelot |
i have an actual breastfeeding advocacy
topic! |
|
12:18:22 |
Mod_ariana |
cool |
|
12:18:50 |
meeshelly12 |
i want to delay as long as possible, but
i know his doctor at the 4 month check
up was already recommending cereal, i
told him i wouldnt even consider
starting till 6 months.... |
|
12:19:14 |
therealocelot |
In a few weeks, I'll be going to a book
signing of a breastfeeding advocate
science fiction author. |
|
12:19:24 |
Mod_ariana |
therealocelot ? |
|
12:19:27 |
Darcy |
Where? Who? |
|
12:19:27 |
Mod_ariana |
Who is that? |
|
12:19:32 |
meeshelly12 |
? |
|
12:19:37 |
therealocelot |
Kim Stanley Robinson, in Davis, CA |
|
12:19:43 |
Mod_ariana |
HAHA all the question marks!! |
|
12:20:01 |
therealocelot |
sorry, I'm dealing with hyper nursing
toddler |
|
12:20:34 |
Host_Housepoet |
I bet he looks so cute Darcy! |
|
12:20:42 |
therealocelot |
In any case, I'd like to recognize this
somehow, but I'm too shy to actually say
anything :) |
|
12:20:49 |
Darcy |
He looks like a little boy. It's
tilling me. |
|
12:21:01 |
Darcy |
It's killing me. |
|
12:21:01 |
Host_Housepoet |
I cut Aiden's hair |
|
12:21:04 |
Host_Housepoet |
I have to take a picture |
|
12:21:12 |
Darcy |
Oooh - did you take some pictures of the
curls before you cut it? |
|
12:21:14 |
Host_Housepoet |
HE looks like a little boy for sure! |
|
12:21:16 |
Mod_ariana |
therealocelot I'm trying to read up o
nhim right now |
|
12:21:29 |
therealocelot |
His latest books feature a nursing
toddler, and a mom who pumps at work for
that toddler |
|
12:22:16 |
therealocelot |
And there's an episode in the Mars
series where a mother, who is shown as
completely devoted to her career and
basically devoid of maternal feelings,
breastfeeds her baby and then hands it
off to a nanny |
|
12:22:53 |
therealocelot |
which, while less than wonderful
mothering, still shows breastfeeding as
the default, even in a situation where
you'd expect formula use |
|
12:23:15 |
meeshelly12 |
that's cool |
|
12:23:27 |
Mod_ariana |
interesting |
|
12:23:39 |
Mod_ariana |
Do you know if his kids were BF'd |
|
12:23:43 |
Mod_ariana |
You'd think so |
|
12:24:19 |
therealocelot |
Yes |
|
12:24:40 |
therealocelot |
There's a autobiographical poem in one
of his books where he talks about
feeding his son EBM |
|
12:24:46 |
Mod_ariana |
awww |
|
12:24:52 |
Mod_ariana |
I love good daddies |
|
12:24:52 |
therealocelot |
(and microwaving it, but oh well) |
|
12:24:55 |
Mod_ariana |
haha |
|
12:25:41 |
Mod_ariana |
I know what you're saying. |
|
12:25:52 |
Mod_ariana |
You don't want to not mention BF but
you're not sure how to bring it up,
right? |
|
12:26:29 |
therealocelot |
hang on, I'll post the poem |
|
12:26:32 |
therealocelot |
basically, yeah |
|
12:28:32 |

|
12:28:36 |
Darcy |
Is everyone still there? |
|
12:28:43 |
Mod_ariana |
I'm here |
|
12:28:45 |
meeshelly12 |
where? |
|
12:28:51 |
meeshelly12 |
here? i'm here |
|
12:28:57 |
Darcy |
Weird - I couldn't see any convo for a
while. Oh well - I'm back now. |
|
12:30:15 |
therealocelot |
the formatting is a little odd |
|
12:30:45 |
Mod_ariana |
Wow, I've been emotional lately and this
poem is really getting to me |
|
12:30:46 |
Darcy |
So, how do you all respond when baby
wakes at night? Do you nurse
immediately. . . |
|
12:30:54 |
Host_Housepoet |
I don't |
|
12:30:56 |
Darcy |
or attempt to comfort for a bit first. |
|
12:31:05 |
Mod_ariana |
I've always nursed right away |
|
12:31:12 |
Host_Housepoet |
and my situation is diff than yours
darcy since A is older |
|
12:31:17 |
meeshelly12 |
i cosleep so yeah as soon as i hear a
peep i nurse and he falls right back to
sleep |
|
12:31:29 |
Darcy |
Yes - very different cuz mine is only 5
1/2 months. |
|
12:31:39 |
Host_Housepoet |
I have in the past nursed right away
jsut so I could go back to sleep right
away too, but Im thinking that I've set
Aiden up with some bad habits of night
nursing" |
|
12:31:46 |
Mod_ariana |
Oh at that age I'd def. nurse whenever
he wakes |
|
12:31:55 |
Mod_ariana |
Shoot do it for selfish reasons. ;-) |
|
12:31:58 |
Host_Housepoet |
NOTE: my son is well over two years old
now. |
|
12:32:00 |
meeshelly12 |
mine is 4 1/2 months |
|
12:32:01 |
Mod_ariana |
it can help keep your period away |
|
12:32:06 |
Darcy |
He's been nursing 5 times a night for
about 3 weeks. |
|
12:32:35 |
Darcy |
I'm having a really hard time with it. |
