Thanks for the comments on the last post about new food ideas. I plan to make a baked ziti this weekend, and soup will be on very soon. In fact, yesterday I got a whole turkey breast, boned it into 2 lobes, froze one, roasted one with veggies (yum! and super easy!), and made turkey stock with the bones. So turkey noodle soup is coming up. Yum! Keep the ideas coming!
So in Critter news, very big Critter news...it has begun. The wean has begun.
I fed her 4 oz. of formula for the late afternoon feed yesterday. And miracle of miracles, she did not sprout horns or a tail, turn into a gremlin or any other horrible thing that some would have you believe comes with formula. In fact, she seemed to quite enjoy it, burped well and barely spit up. And seemed...downright content afterward. Huh.
She wasn't even fussy after, as she can be before bedtime. She just took to the boob for her last feed, ate some, and then was finished. Rather than her frantic feed style that is usually the last feed of the day. Huh.
She slept 8 hours in a row last night. A record for her. Huh.
So to summarize, no evil sprouted from her after formula. Good things happened after formula.
This may just turn out ok.

Hehehe. Yeah, even though I was all "I'll breastfeed exclusively for 12 months, minimum," as soon as I started adding solids to Henry's diet (at about 4 mos.), he started sleeping SO MUCH BETTER. He certainly never suffered from a failure to thrive, but I still think he wasn't getting enough milk to keep him full. Yay for happy, contented babies that sleep well! And yay for happy contented mamas!
