Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding is still going strong! Rose is still rejecting bottles and pacifiers. We haven't even been trying to give her bottles because she gets so upset and it is a waste of my milk. Now that Rose is six month old she is starting to get distracted when she's eating and going to a nice quiet place when she eats isn't going to happen.  

Sleep: We started sleep training Rose on Monday night and we got lucky because she went right to sleep when I put her in her crib drowsy, but awake like her Pediatrician recommended.  Breaking the habit of nursing Rose to sleep is going to be a tough one to break!  Landon, Oliver and Trent all took the pacifier and would suck on that until they fell asleep. I feel badly, but it has become too much for me during the day and then all night nursing to calm her down, nursing to feed her, nursing to get her to sleep, nursing to get her back to sleep. Rose needs her sleep and so do I.

Solids: I took a step back with solids this month due to Rose gaging. I know it is part of the learning process, but I think waiting until she's a little older and doing Baby Led Weaning is the right method to introduce solids to Rose. We did this with Oliver and Trent and it worked well!
