CAMDEN’S 11 MONTH UPDATE + SCHEDULE

We’re formally 1 thirty day period out from Cam turning 1. I can not believe it. 11 months with the sweetest little soul. It’s been every little thing and far more. As a new-ish mom of 2 at times I have to remind myself that I’m a mother of 2 and that I have a son now. When you are in the thick of it, the day-to-working day grind, you can thoroughly ignore that this is your everyday living. 

New at 11 Months

The moment 10 months hit, almost everything accelerated. He’s climbing up the stairs (climbing everything I need to say), babbling extra, pulling up on every thing and anything, walking with us keeping just a person of his fingers, and he’s even taken up to 6 measures alone. I can see him strolling for his birthday. I imagine we were in the thick of a 10 thirty day period rest regression and just major leaps for the reason that he was a crabfest for a good 3 weeks. He woke up just one day as the happiest, silliest boy and we ended up like, “there’s our content boy.” Now that I believe about it, I don’t forget Harper likely as a result of anything identical at the identical age. Cam’s also feeding on just about anything and every little thing. His hunger has developed tremendously. We did not experience this with Harper, so it’s all really new to us. Not heading to lie, we’re loving it, lol. 

Naps

Naps are finding better, but even now not fantastic. He basically took a 75 minute nap yesterday, but that is exceptional. I’m not stressed about it also a great deal given that his schedule allows for it and he finishes up heading to bed before, which is fantastic for us mom and dad. He’ll do wherever from 30-60 minutes, 2 times a working day. 

Feedings

If you adhere to me on Tales, you observed me mention Cam likely on a nursing strike. Person, that was an emotional roller coaster. I assume it lasted 3 times. He would nurse fantastic in the morning and then boycott it for the relaxation of the feedings. I was pressured and made positive to pump to enable with my provide (which was such an inconvenience, primarily when you haven’t completed it considering that the early days). I nonetheless really don’t know what the trigger was, but a couple issues popped out to me. He may have been below the weather conditions (whilst it was not everything extreme), he could have been heading as a result of a leap and was additional interested in solids, my breast milk style could have changed since I was ovulating and then at some point acquired my period for the initially time since obtaining expecting.  I appeared this up and it is very considerably a point. In scenario any other mamas are examining this and probably likely through something identical, hold in there. Infant is aware what he/she is carrying out and will permit you know how to go ahead. We are nonetheless nursing 4x working day, but feedings are a lot shorter after his nursing strike. He’s also feeding on a lot much more solids, which is what he prefers, so we’re functioning with it.   

Awake Time

We’re executing a set time of 9am for his to start with nap and then doing 3.5-3.75 of awake time right before his 2nd nap. Then he’ll go to mattress amongst 6-6:30pm. The man is all in excess of the put these days. We essentially had to get him a playpen, so we have a safe and sound space for him if only one parent is property, we’re cooking, or if we will need to use the restroom. He did not really like it at very first, but he’s receiving utilised to it day to day. He’ll whine, but then we’ll refocus his consideration on some thing else to purchase extra time. We’re receiving more time stretches day to day. We did not go via a massive crawling stage with Harper, so this is all new to us. He legit is all over the place and the next you choose your eyes off him, he’s getting into a thing else or hoping to stand and wander on his personal, lol.

Bedtime

Cam experienced a couple rough nights falling asleep while he was going as a result of his 10 thirty day period rest regression, but we’re back again on monitor. It will take him about 10 minutes to fall asleep and then he’ll slumber by the night until about 6am. We just lately switched his snooze sack from this 1 to the Dreamland weighted sleep sack. I was hoping it would help him nap for a longer period, but I never believe we’ve seen a ton of modify. It is heat adequate for wintertime, so that was an additional explanation we switched. 

Eczema Update

Cam recently had some eczema flare ups. I feel it has to do with the temperature transform – we went from 80 degrees to 40 right away. He’s also been feeding on diverse food items, so perhaps which is contributing to this breakout. We are nonetheless working with our 3 component concoction from Dr. Aron (a lot more on that right here). We have not stopped it fully due to the fact Cam proceeds to get eczema right underneath his ears on his deal with. We do not commonly use it anyplace else unless of course he has a flare up. Prolonged expression we may possibly see a naturopath and get him examined for meals allergies to see if we can get to the root trigger. 

Favorites at 11 Months

Playpen – Tried my best to find anything minimal. It is big, but they do have more compact kinds. We’re employing a foam enjoy mat underneath. Has a small door. Cam is little by little getting utilized to it and it helps that Harper loves remaining in there, lol.

Mary Ruth’s Toddler Vitamin D Drops – Been using this given that Cam was an infant and retain forgetting to share. Flavorless and I just put it in his food.

Jenni Kayne Slippers – Dear, but Cam wears these everyday. Effortless to get on and off and uncomplicated for him to walk in.

Dreamland Snooze Sack – We just switched in excess of to this. Appreciate that it is for winter season and the further bodyweight is super cozy.
