I feel like I'm constantly feeding the babies. They're eating everything in sight and love new tastes. I hope that I'm doing everything right though...I haven't really researched what I should be doing...I'm just doing what feels right. Here's how our day usually goes:
Wake-up
Breakfast - cereal for each baby with some fruit mixed in, split the remainder of that jar, and have at least one more jar each on their own.
Play
Bottle - They only take about 3-4 ounces at this bottle...I get nervous that they're not getting enough fluids.
Nap
Wake-up - depending on what time it is, I either give them a bottle or skip ahead to lunch.
Lunch - one jar of vegetable with pasta/rice, one more jar of vegetable, one jar of fruit (for each baby).
Play
Bottle - if I can slip it in before their next nap.
Nap
Wake-up
Play
Bottle
Cap-nap before dinner (this doesn't happen every night)
Dinner - one jar of vegetable with pasta/rice, one jar of vegetable, one yobaby yogurt, maybe a jar of fruit (split)
Baths
Bed
It's a hectic routine and I always feel like I'm throwing food down their throat or trying to force one more bottle. Their bowels have been okay...Hailey is a little constipated lately, but isn't really interested in the bottle. I've tried introducing the sippy cups and while they love to chew on them, drinking out of them doesn't really get them at all. Hailey does like to drink out of my cup though...she'll grab it with both hands, put her mouth where it's supposed to be, and I'll tip the cup...she really goes for it! Who knows? There is this one book that I borrowed from a friend (Bill read it...I still haven't have the time) that says they're still supposed to be drinking up to 32 ounces a day! How the hell am I supposed to get that in them?? Ahh...enough stressing...what do you think?
