CAMDEN’S 11 MONTH UPDATE + SCHEDULE

We’re formally 1 month out from Cam turning 1. I can not feel it. 11 months with the sweetest very little soul. It’s been anything and more. As a new-ish mother of 2 in some cases 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-day grind, you can entirely forget about that this is your existence. 

New at 11 Months

Once 10 months strike, anything accelerated. He’s climbing up the stairs (climbing anything I ought to say), babbling far more, pulling up on all the things and nearly anything, strolling with us keeping just one of his palms, and he’s even taken up to 6 techniques by itself. I can see him going for walks for his birthday. I believe we had been in the thick of a 10 month sleep regression and just major leaps mainly because he was a crabfest for a fantastic 3 weeks. He woke up just one working day as the happiest, silliest boy and we were like, “there’s our happy boy.” Now that I think about it, I remember Harper going as a result of a thing comparable at the very same age. Cam’s also having anything and all the things. His hunger has developed immensely. We did not expertise this with Harper, so it is all quite new to us. Not going to lie, we’re loving it, lol. 

Naps

Naps are obtaining superior, but nonetheless not good. He essentially took a 75 moment nap yesterday, but that’s rare. I’m not pressured about it also a lot because his program makes it possible for for it and he finishes up going to mattress before, which is excellent for us moms and dads. He’ll do anyplace from 30-60 minutes, two times a day. 

Feedings

If you comply with me on Tales, you saw me point out Cam heading on a nursing strike. Male, that was an emotional roller coaster. I assume it lasted 3 days. He would nurse good in the morning and then boycott it for the rest of the feedings. I was stressed and made positive to pump to enable with my provide (which was such an inconvenience, in particular when you haven’t carried out it because the early days). I still do not know what the cause was, but a couple factors popped out to me. He may perhaps have been underneath the climate (despite the fact that it was not just about anything critical), he could have been heading through a leap and was a lot more interested in solids, my breast milk taste could have transformed because I was ovulating and then finally bought my time period for the initially time since getting expecting.  I appeared this up and it’s quite much a point. In scenario any other mamas are looking through this and probably going through one thing equivalent, hold in there. Infant understands what he/she is undertaking and will permit you know how to shift forward. We are however nursing 4x day, but feedings are a ton shorter soon after his nursing strike. He’s also taking in a lot far more solids, which is what he prefers, so we’re jogging with it.   

Awake Time

We’re performing a set time of 9am for his first nap and then undertaking 3.5-3.75 of awake time prior to his 2nd nap. Then he’ll go to bed among 6-6:30pm. The male is all above the position these times. We basically had to get him a playpen, so we have a safe space for him if only a person guardian is property, we’re cooking, or if we need to have to use the restroom. He did not appreciate it at to start with, but he’s receiving made use of to it everyday. He’ll whine, but then we’ll refocus his focus on something else to acquire much more time. We’re receiving extended stretches daily. We did not go by means of a massive crawling phase with Harper, so this is all new to us. He legit is in all places and the next you just take your eyes off him, he’s having into a thing else or hoping to stand and wander on his very own, lol.

Bedtime

Cam experienced a handful of tough evenings falling asleep though he was heading as a result of his 10 month sleep regression, but we’re back on observe. It requires him about 10 minutes to slide asleep and then he’ll slumber by way of the night until eventually about 6am. We not long ago switched his rest sack from this one particular to the Dreamland weighted slumber sack. I was hoping it would help him nap for a longer period, but I don’t think we have viewed a ton of improve. It is heat enough for winter, so that was a further reason we switched. 

Eczema Update

Cam just lately experienced some eczema flare ups. I believe it has to do with the temperature change – we went from 80 levels to 40 right away. He’s also been consuming various food items, so it’s possible that is contributing to this breakout. We are still making use of our 3 portion concoction from Dr. Aron (far more on that in this article). We have not stopped it fully simply because Cam continues to get eczema correct less than his ears on his face. We really do not commonly use it anyplace else unless of course he has a flare up. Lengthy time period we may possibly see a naturopath and get him examined for foods allergy symptoms to see if we can get to the root trigger. 

Favorites at 11 Months

Playpen – Experimented with my greatest to obtain a little something minimum. It is significant, but they do have smaller types. We’re working with a foam participate in mat beneath. Has a minimal door. Cam is slowly having used to it and it assists that Harper enjoys currently being in there, lol.

Mary Ruth’s Toddler Vitamin D Drops – Been applying this given that Cam was an toddler and maintain forgetting to share. Flavorless and I just set it in his meals.

Jenni Kayne Slippers – Expensive, but Cam wears these day to day. Quick to get on and off and easy for him to stroll in.

Dreamland Snooze Sack – We just switched over to this. Enjoy that it’s for winter season and the further weight is tremendous cozy.
