CAMDEN’S 11 MONTH UPDATE + SCHEDULE

We’re formally 1 month out from Cam turning 1. I will not consider it. 11 months with the sweetest little soul. It’s been the whole thing and extra. As a new-ish mother of two now and again I’ve to remind myself that I’m a mother of two and that I’ve a son now. While you’re within the thick of it, the daily grind, you’ll completely disregard that that is your existence. 

New at 11 Months

As soon as 10 months hit, the whole thing speeded up. He’s mountaineering up the steps (mountaineering the whole thing I must say), babbling extra, pulling up on the whole thing and the rest, strolling with us retaining simply considered one of his arms, and he’s even taken as much as 6 steps by myself. I will see him strolling for his birthday. I believe we have been within the thick of a ten month sleep regression and simply main leaps as a result of he used to be a crabfest for a just right 3 weeks. He aroused from sleep sooner or later because the happiest, silliest boy and we have been like, “there’s our glad boy.” Now that I take into consideration it, I have in mind Harper going thru one thing equivalent on the similar age. Cam’s additionally consuming the rest and the whole thing. His urge for food has grown significantly. We didn’t enjoy this with Harper, so it’s all very new to us. No longer going to lie, we’re loving it, lol. 

Naps

Naps are getting higher, however nonetheless no longer nice. He in reality took a 75 minute nap the day prior to this, however that’s uncommon. I’m no longer wired about it an excessive amount of since his time table permits for it and he finally ends up going to mattress previous, which is excellent for us oldsters. He’ll do anyplace from 30-60 minutes, two times an afternoon. 

Feedings

If you happen to practice me on Tales, you noticed me point out Cam happening a nursing strike. Guy, that used to be an emotional curler coaster. I believe it lasted 3 days. He would nurse wonderful within the morning after which boycott it for the remainder of the feedings. I used to be wired and made positive to pump to lend a hand with my provide (which used to be such an inconvenience, particularly while you haven’t achieved it for the reason that early days). I nonetheless don’t know what the purpose used to be, however a pair issues popped out to me. He could have been underneath the elements (even supposing it wasn’t the rest critical), he will have been going thru a soar and used to be extra enthusiastic about solids, my breast milk style will have modified since I used to be ovulating after which in the end were given my duration for the primary time since getting pregnant.  I appeared this up and it’s very a lot a factor. In case another mamas are studying this and perhaps going thru one thing equivalent, grasp in there. Child is aware of what he/she is doing and can will let you understand how to transport ahead. We’re nonetheless nursing 4x day, however feedings are so much shorter after his nursing strike. He’s additionally consuming much more solids, which is what he prefers, so we’re operating with it.   

Wakeful Time

We’re doing a suite time of 9am for his first nap after which doing 3.5-3.75 of unsleeping time sooner than his 2d nap. Then he’ll pass to mattress between 6-6:30pm. The person is in every single place in this day and age. We in reality needed to get him a playpen, so we’ve a secure area for him if just one guardian is house, we’re cooking, or if we want to use the restroom. He didn’t adore it to start with, however he’s being used to it on a regular basis. He’ll whine, however then we’ll refocus his consideration on one thing else to shop for extra time. We’re getting longer stretches on a regular basis. We didn’t undergo a large crawling segment with Harper, so that is all new to us. He reputable is all over the place and the second one you’re taking your eyes off him, he’s coming into one thing else or seeking to stand and stroll on his personal, lol.

Bedtime

Cam had a couple of tough nights falling asleep whilst he used to be going thru his 10 month sleep regression, however we’re again not off course. It takes him about 10 mins to go to sleep after which he’ll sleep during the evening till about 6am. We lately switched his sleep sack from this one to the Dreamland weighted sleep sack. I used to be hoping it will lend a hand him nap longer, however I don’t assume we’ve noticed a ton of exchange. It’s heat sufficient for wintry weather, in order that used to be one more reason we switched. 

Eczema Replace

Cam lately had some eczema flare ups. I believe it has to do with the temperature exchange – we went from 80 levels to 40 in a single day. He’s additionally been consuming other meals, so perhaps that’s contributing to this breakout. We’re nonetheless the use of our 3 phase concoction from Dr. Aron (extra on that right here). We haven’t stopped it totally as a result of Cam continues to get eczema proper underneath his ears on his face. We don’t most often use it anyplace else except he has a flare up. Longer term we might see a naturopath and get him examined for meals hypersensitive reactions to peer if we will get to the foundation purpose. 

Favorites at 11 Months

Playpen – Attempted my perfect to search out one thing minimum. It’s massive, however they do have smaller ones. We’re the use of a foam play mat beneath. Has a bit of door. Cam is slowly being used to it and it is helping that Harper loves being in there, lol.

Mary Ruth’s Toddler Diet D Drops – Been the use of this since Cam used to be an toddler and stay forgetting to percentage. Flavorless and I simply put it in his meals.

Jenni Kayne Slippers – Expensive, however Cam wears those on a regular basis. Simple to get off and on and simple for him to stroll in.

Dreamland Sleep Sack – We simply converted to this. Love that it’s for wintry weather and the additional weight is tremendous comfortable.
