Baby Growing up & Getting More Difficult

FutureHKmom said:
With eating, he was a fantastic eater with his 3 solid meals a day until two weeks ago when all of a sudden it takes song and dance to get him to eat (i.e. I feed and my helper sings and dances or vice versa). Without the song and dance, or another toy to keep him occupied, he refuses to eat. Sigh.....

Oh, I totally know what you mean! My son started doing the same thing at around 12 months. Now it`s commonplace, and I wonder how each meal will go...Easier when there are 2 people for sure. I just look for different objects to give him to examine. Lately he likes his straw cup. Then I have to open it and disassemble it for him...anything for a few spoons of rice eh~
 
Every 3 hours ia bit too frequent - try 4-5 hours
If she is starting to get bored of milk, at 6 months, she is ready to try 1 solid + 4 bottles per day
 
I also love it when they are not allowed to touch something... and point slowly their finger on it looking at you with an innocent smile... :D

Like you all I'm going through this phases... eating/not eating, sleeping good/wanting to sleep with us, happy mood/terrible mood... the good thing is that it just stops one day ! (eventually when they will be old enough to leave the house....)
 
oh I couldn't agree more with this topic....the new born stage was so much easier in many ways!!
 
I cannot begin to tell you how much easier a 6 month old is..than a 1.5 yr old...wait till she walks..I have to run -- literally..to keep up with her (now I have a baby harness) meal times are like battlegrounds with spaghetti on the walls and peas on the sofa..and oh puhleeze..let me not tell you about sleeptime.. they all grow a mind of their own..and a very stubborn one at that..
wishing you luck!!

Ladies ... during these 'challenging' moments, do you feel you can handle another kid? Or does having more make it easier (or harder)?

I wonder that myself...but if I wondered too long I don`t think I would be able to do it.
My son is nearly 14 months, and we`re going to start trying for a 2nd soon. I am still exhausted, my back kills, being a mother is getting more and more trying at times (but at the same time more and more rewarding), so I figure, you just gotta do it and it will work out...SOMEHOW:)
