Feeding solid foods has presented a whole new challenge – variety!  Before the only choice to be made was breast milk, or formula?  Now there’s a whole world of possibilities, and I find myself getting stuck in a rut a lot.  One topic I always try and bring up at mommy group is “what are you feeding your baby now?”  So, I thought I would try and do some posts about what Cameron is eating to give some ideas to the moms out there.  Granted most of what I make isn’t groundbreaking, but sometimes all a mommy needs is a little inspiration!

So, today Cameron was eating Ricotta Cheese and some yellow summer squash (which had been steamed and pureed).  Today was his first time having Ricotta.  Apparently, it’s totally awesome!

Sleeping through the night with Huggies Overnites

Hallelujah!  For the first time ever (with hopefully many more times to come,) my 7.5 month old baby boy has slept through the night – from 6pm to 6:20am.  Let me tell you, this mommy is ecstatic!  Of course, we have been working on this for a long time, but I think a large part of this victory is due to two things.  1) My sleep training book “Healthy Sleep Habbits, Happy Child” by Dr. Weissbluth and 2) Huggies Overnight Diapers.  I think on this post I’ll focus on #2, since #1 is a huge topic in itself.

In the past few weeks Cameron has become a tummy sleeper.  Overall, he seems to sleep better on his tummy than his back – and for longer stretches of time.

Except, we now had a leaking problem.  He had been waking up wet almost every night, and every morning.  This was totally new to me – I’ve always been a huge fan of Pampers, and never experienced many leaky diapers.  Obviously doing all this extra laundry was not cool, so I investigated “Overnight Diapers.”

The reviews on Diapers.com for Huggies Overnights were glowing, so I decided to give them a try.  Indeed, they worked.  I highly suggest them if you have an overnight leak problem.  Mommy FTW!
