My daughter is 6 months old!

Dear All BF Mamas: I'm so happy that I was able to BF my daughter for 6 months! After being unsuccessful with my son, I never would have dreamed that I will be able to do this for my daughter. Thank you all for the valuable support and advice! Thank you Glad!
I've now started to feed her rice cereal mixed with breastmilk. She seems to like it a lot! She still hasn't sleep through the night, wakes up around 2am and 4am and this is a pain.

I still have two more worries though:
1. I'm not happy with my daughter's weight gain. She was born at 3.72kg (large size BB girl) but has dropped to 25th percentile now, weighing only 6.92kg at her 6 months checkup. I hope she can gain more weight after the introduction of solid food...

2. She is not able to fall asleep on her own most of the time, especially at night. She has to nurse to fall asleep plus rocking. I know this is bad habit, epecially when she starts to get teeth..... she wouldn't take a pacifier and I have no clue how to teach her how to fall asleep on her own when it is bed time. With my son it was easy, I put him to bed at the same time every night and gave him a pacifier (he stopped using it on his own at 10 months old), play some lullaby and he will fall asleep in 5 mins. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Re: My daughter is 6 months old!

My daughter is fussy, wouldn't nurse when laying down on the big bed with me anymore, she just wants to roll over again and again. I just want my baby to establish a good sleeping habit starting from young age, just like my son. I would be sorry if I still have to rock my daughter to sleep when she is 3 years old...

Re: My daughter is 6 months old!

Gab: I agree with you. I heard from a nurse that a sleep well BB still can gain weight even BB eat little. I think yr BB not good in weight may cause by this. So you have to find a way to help yr BB sleep well. e.g. room temperature, noise, lights etc. But every BB has their speciality, don't worry too much.

Re: My daughter is 6 months old!

Hi Gab,

Congratulation to achieve the mid-term goal.
Six-month-old girl is stepping into the next phase of breastfeeding, a wonderful and unforgettable response from baby. I remembered that baby Hayes smiled and stared at me during enjoying mama milk. Besides, he always touched on my breast and face. I really experienced our so close bonding and intimacy.
Dear Gab, I also struggled much about the sleeping habit and nursing time of baby Hayes. He sometimes would need me much over the night and enjoyed me to breastfeed him before sleep. Surely, he still was unable to fall asleep by his own. Don't forget, our baby is different from formula and plastic nipple baby.
Gradually, I told myself, it is part of his life with me. He felt so secure and warm to fell asleep with me, not teddy bear, not cover sheet, not towel, not plastic nipple.......but me.......so a significant figure....mama!!!!
Don't bonder too much, just trust our baby. I trust Jesus would let him learn and can one day.

May God bless you lovely girl on this special day!

Hayes mama
Hayes had been breastfeeding for almost 3 years, then naturally weaned by himself!

Wish Hayes with Love, Peace & Joy!!

Re: My daughter is 6 months old!

Hi Gab, congratulations!!

I don't have problem 1) but I can share my experience of problem 2). My baby used to BF to sleep and it seems to be it's become a habit instead of a "must". Therefore I tried to BF her eariler (before her bed time) and even she fall asleep during feeding, I will try to wake her up so that she would assoicate sleeping with BF. Before she sleeps, I will lay her beside me and read her story before she sleep and try to establish a routine.

However, the drawback is lack of stimulations during nighttime and the milk supply will drop. Hope it's helpful to you.

Re: My daughter is 6 months old!

baby_ee: You are right, I think the poor sleep she got affects her weight gain!:cry:

Hayes mama: Thank you for your support and advice! I really do enjoy the BF time and the close bonding between my baby and myself. It's nothing money can buy.

louder: Thanks for reminding me the word "routine"! That's what I've helped my son to establish but completely forgot about it with my daughter! My son loves his bedtime stories and I haven't started reading bedtime stories to my daughter yet. I will give it a try for sure.
