I had this ah-ha moment a while back - I had to tell myself not to worry/stress/force etc. I kept telling myself as long as my baby looks happy, healthy and has the spirited energy he should - he is just fine! So... Don't you worry, your baby is beautiful and looks very happy and healthy! You even said yourself that she is drinking plenty of momma milk - and that has all the nutrition she needs right now. Food is just exploration. You will know when she's ready for more.MinaGutzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12080677643896561515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-46366587382008473062012-04-07T12:23:44.647-07:002012-04-07T12:23:44.647-07:00thanks for reading:)thanks for reading:)Melanie (Figs and Feathers)http://figsandfeathers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-528385020334229862012-04-07T12:23:21.688-07:002012-04-07T12:23:21.688-07:00boy am I trying not too!!!! i think i'm doing ...boy am I trying not too!!!! i think i'm doing ok....Melanie (Figs and Feathers)http://figsandfeathers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-46030227598373287442012-04-07T12:22:33.834-07:002012-04-07T12:22:33.834-07:00i love long replies:) and i love knowing there are...i love long replies:) and i love knowing there are mamas out there i may never meet that are living parallel lives. write again soon. x mMelaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01253265611167037707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-10420519716856537222012-04-07T12:21:20.109-07:002012-04-07T12:21:20.109-07:00you too?:)you too?:)Melanie (Figs and Feathers)http://figsandfeathers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-50314220823791126472012-04-07T12:20:18.896-07:002012-04-07T12:20:18.896-07:00it's crazy isn't it? i'm understanding...it's crazy isn't it? i'm understanding how people say i'll turn around and she'll be 18. and then i wonder how am i understanding that already? x mmelanie (Figs and Feathers)http://figsandfeathers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-67214096618256823602012-04-06T09:55:52.110-07:002012-04-06T09:55:52.110-07:00This is so sweet and thoughtful.

She would like us to do this or that. It's funny. I see it as a way for her not to work on her own stuff, but I'm sure you're not doing that.Desi McKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14482197751684047208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-50886757008096300692012-04-05T09:17:45.561-07:002012-04-05T09:17:45.561-07:00Your post was so poignant and exactly what I neede...Your post was so poignant and exactly what I needed to read today. Although we live on different coasts and have very different lives, I've been feeling such a strong connection to your words; about going back to work, about finding balance and now this. I have a little girl who is seven months (and a week now!). Eating has been a constant struggle and worry since she was born and it has been harder than I ever imagined. I, too, have not had a decent night of sleep since she was born but every time I am with her in the middle of the night I still can't help but think how precious this time is and how fleeting it will be. But more than anything, what has surprised me the most about being a mom is that my beautiful daughter is completely her own person. I don't know why that surprised me, but it did. These past seven months have also been about getting to know each other and I love that aspect more than I could have imagined. So anyway, a long comment to a beautiful post. Your sweet girl is beautiful and she has a very kind and strong Mommy.Leighhttp://www.leighdameron.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-28734992436287679472012-04-05T06:53:27.910-07:002012-04-05T06:53:27.910-07:00oh my goodness. my husband and i have spent so ma...oh my goodness. my husband and i have spent so many hours talking about 'remember when' over a glass of wine. and we're only at five months ! we're already talking/planning baby number 2, because we are ADDICTED to babies !17 beats.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13010462456433196213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123172070680416651.post-74621950768932694562012-04-03T12:30:25.970-07:002012-04-03T12:30:25.970-07:00So true that we can not control them.

I would love to have a little more information on the new sleep routine that you implemented. Unfortunately part of my Sons agenda is NOT sleeping at all.

We just hit that milestone as well, and I've also been feeling that babyhood is slipping away, and I just completely and totally understand that sweet heartbreak you speak of.
