CAMDEN’S 11 Month UPDATE + Plan

We’re formally 1 thirty day period out from Cam turning 1. I are unable to imagine it. 11 months with the sweetest tiny soul. It’s been almost everything and more. As a new-ish mom of 2 occasionally I have to remind myself that I’m a mom of 2 and that I have a son now. When you’re in the thick of it, the working day-to-day grind, you can totally forget about that this is your daily life. 

New at 11 Months

When 10 months hit, every little thing accelerated. He’s climbing up the stairs (climbing all the things I really should say), babbling much more, pulling up on all the things and everything, walking with us keeping just a single of his palms, and he’s even taken up to 6 ways on your own. I can see him walking for his birthday. I consider we were being in the thick of a 10 thirty day period slumber regression and just key leaps for the reason that he was a crabfest for a excellent 3 months. He woke up one particular working day as the happiest, silliest boy and we have been like, “there’s our content boy.” Now that I believe about it, I keep in mind Harper likely through some thing comparable at the exact same age. Cam’s also consuming anything and almost everything. His urge for food has grown enormously. We did not knowledge this with Harper, so it’s all quite new to us. Not likely to lie, we’re loving it, lol. 

Naps

Naps are finding better, but nonetheless not wonderful. He actually took a 75 minute nap yesterday, but that’s uncommon. I’m not pressured about it as well a great deal considering that his routine allows for it and he ends up likely to mattress earlier, which is terrific for us mom and dad. He’ll do any where from 30-60 mins, 2 times a day. 

Feedings

If you stick to me on Tales, you observed me mention Cam heading on a nursing strike. Man, that was an emotional roller coaster. I feel it lasted 3 days. He would nurse fine in the early morning and then boycott it for the relaxation of the feedings. I was stressed and made sure to pump to support with my provide (which was these an inconvenience, specifically when you have not finished it since the early times). I nonetheless really do not know what the result in was, but a pair factors popped out to me. He may have been underneath the weather conditions (although it was not something significant), he could have been going as a result of a leap and was additional interested in solids, my breast milk style could have improved since I was ovulating and then sooner or later got my period of time for the to start with time given that getting expecting.  I seemed this up and it’s quite a lot a detail. In situation any other mamas are looking at this and probably likely by means of some thing equivalent, cling in there. Little one is aware of what he/she is performing and will let you know how to transfer forward. We are nevertheless nursing 4x day, but feedings are a whole lot shorter following his nursing strike. He’s also consuming a large amount more solids, which is what he prefers, so we’re operating with it.   

Awake Time

We’re carrying out a set time of 9am for his to start with nap and then undertaking 3.5-3.75 of awake time ahead of his 2nd nap. Then he’ll go to mattress between 6-6:30pm. The gentleman is all above the location these days. We essentially had to get him a playpen, so we have a harmless room for him if only just one mother or father is dwelling, we’re cooking, or if we have to have to use the restroom. He did not adore it at 1st, but he’s finding made use of to it each day. He’ll whine, but then we’ll refocus his notice on anything else to invest in far more time. We’re having for a longer time stretches daily. We did not go as a result of a big crawling section with Harper, so this is all new to us. He legit is in all places and the 2nd you acquire your eyes off him, he’s having into something else or attempting to stand and wander on his very own, lol.

Bedtime

Cam experienced a handful of rough evenings falling asleep though he was likely by his 10 month snooze regression, but we’re back again on keep track of. It will take him about 10 minutes to slide asleep and then he’ll sleep as a result of the night time right until about 6am. We not too long ago switched his sleep sack from this 1 to the Dreamland weighted sleep sack. I was hoping it would assist him nap for a longer time, but I do not feel we have found a ton of adjust. It is heat enough for wintertime, so that was one more cause we switched. 

Eczema Update

Cam lately had some eczema flare ups. I feel it has to do with the temperature adjust – we went from 80 levels to 40 right away. He’s also been taking in distinct food items, so probably that’s contributing to this breakout. We are nonetheless utilizing our 3 aspect concoction from Dr. Aron (more on that right here). We haven’t stopped it completely due to the fact Cam continues to get eczema ideal underneath his ears on his experience. We really don’t commonly use it anyplace else except he has a flare up. Extensive time period we may possibly see a naturopath and get him examined for food items allergy symptoms to see if we can get to the root trigger. 

Favorites at 11 Months

Playpen – Attempted my very best to come across something minimal. It’s huge, but they do have lesser kinds. We’re making use of a foam perform mat underneath. Has a very little door. Cam is slowly and gradually acquiring utilized to it and it aids that Harper enjoys remaining in there, lol.

Mary Ruth’s Infant Vitamin D Drops – Been utilizing this since Cam was an infant and hold forgetting to share. Flavorless and I just set it in his food.

Jenni Kayne Slippers – Dear, but Cam wears these everyday. Straightforward to get on and off and straightforward for him to walk in.

Dreamland Rest Sack – We just switched above to this. Appreciate that it is for winter and the extra bodyweight is super cozy.
