Hey everyone, it’s been a minute.

If you’ve been wondering where I disappeared to, the answer is… deep in the trenches of parenting. About three weeks ago, my 8-month-old made a bold and unexpected decision: no more formula. Just like that. Cold turkey. Cue the panic.

I tried everything from new bottles, different nipples, sippy cups, straws, to even switching formulas. Nothing worked. She had made up her mind. So, suddenly, I was parenting a baby who was relying entirely on solids. Three meals a day, one or two snacks, and a whole lot of Googling “how to get calcium into a baby who won’t drink milk.”

It’s been a wild adjustment. From planning and prepping balanced meals to navigating grocery trips with laser focus on iron-rich foods, it’s been intense. But here’s the silver lining: she now sleeps 12 hours straight at night. No night feeds, no wake ups,  just blissful baby sleep. (Yes, I knock on wood every time I say that out loud.)

Now that we’ve finally found a rhythm and settled into our new normal, I’m back, and excited to share more soon.

Thanks for sticking around!
