No shots! Yay! She weighs 18 lbs. 10 ou. , 27 1/2 inches long, and head circumfrence is 17". She said she was doing well and had the most beautiful eyes she has ever seen ;) lol! Thought she was eating enough and all that jazz. Asked if she was sleeping through the night and I sighed. I told her that we had just switched daycares and that I thought it was causing her to nurse every 2 hours. She said she shouldn't be nursing at night, but that she wouldn't fuss at me for continuing either. ;) I told her I was ready but that something always came up during the process. I also told her that I'm sure she would do better if I wouldn't bring her to my bed to nurse. So, she told me to cut that out and to tell Chris NOT to bring her to bed to me. :P
Emma hasn't been feeling well. :( She checked her ears and said they looked great and looked at her throat and said it was really red. So, she took a culture and it came back negative for strep. So, good stuff. I'm to give her tylenol as needed for pain. So, good appointment overall.
Oh, and she sent Garrett a tattoo and a dinosaur. ;) I LOVE HER!
Night Weaning
Here's my plan - Today, I'm going to try and nurse her alot. Yesterday she hardly nursed which could be because of the sore throat, but she nursed all night long last night. So, if I have to, I'm taking her to another room to nurse. Hopefully, she'll nurse with no distractions. Tonight, if she seems to be feeling better I will nurse her as often as she wants, but I am NOT bringing her to my bed. I'm going to time her nursings these nights. See how long she nurses at a time. Once she feels better, I'll start decreasing the nursings by 1 minute each night. Once I get down to 2-3 minutes, I'm going cold turkey. My ped told me once we get to cold turkey, to not go to her room. :( That is probably going to be my hardest, but it has to be done. I think I just have to train my children to sleep...they don't get it from us.
Oh and for those of you interested, I follow the book Sleep Through the Night by Jodi Mindell.
