Today my mom and I had eye doctor appointments. While we were waiting Emme tried on some frames to see what size and style would work best when the time comes for her to get her glasses. I was happy to see that frames are so much more appealing than when I was a kid but these frames are $150 not including the lenses. Who would have thought babies could have designer "Barbie" frames! Barbie and Hannah Montana are like Prada and Gucci for babies!
Today was also the day Emme "successfully" drank out of a sippy cup. She had been attempting before with water only and after I saw how she spit and spilled it all over I was not putting any breastmilk in for her to waste. My supply started to drop since going back to work and the doctor said we could start Emme on whole milk at 9 months. At about 8 months I was not producing enough for her bottles for school and the doctor said to go with formula and wait another month for whole milk. I tried formula and breastmilk mixed for ONE day and Emme had terrible gas and had 10 bowel movements which resulted in horrible diaper rash that lasted almost a week and she was even on probiotics! I don't even want to think about how yucky it would have been minus the probiotics! In the past she had a reaction to several formulas way back when we were told to supplement and I don't know why. So I exhausted my freezer supply of breast milk and 2 weeks shy of her turning 9 months I started mixing breastmilk and whole milk in her bottles for school. Emme loves it and her belly does too so far! She will still get nursed in the morning and at night and on weekends but mixing whole milk into the bottles of pumped milk is making life so much easier.
