My daughter is 7 months old this week, which is just mind spinning. I actually have been having typical new mom syndrome once again. The bottle vs solid foods, how much of each does she need, etc. So my wonderful pediatrician called me back and we chatted. Apparently her 6oz bottle feeds are down to 4oz since she LOVES food. I was in a panic about it all because I was worried she needed more formula and I was depleting her of her nutrients. I was wrong though as my doctor informed me. He told me that she is making the transition to solid foods and to feed her as much of the bottle as she wants and the same for her solid food. Feeeww! I was trying to force feed my daughter the remainder of her bottle out of fear she wasn't getting what she needed. I am happy to say I feel so much more relaxed now after speaking with him.
I feel like just when everything gets on routine, something else changes. Teething, food, sitting up, drama, etc. I have to honestly say that being a mom feels like a roller coaster ride with your eyes shut part of the time. The anticipation of the unknown seems to be part of the role, which I am finally getting use to. I am learning to go with the flow and constantly readjust. I think that is what makes being a mother so exhausting sometimes! However I love it at the same time :)
