Congrats on L only waking up once! I suggested feeding him more but what other techniques did you try?

The only downfall of sleeping through the night is a heavy/soaked diaper. I swear that thing can hold a gallon.

  • I've been meaning to e-mail you back, it's been a busy couple of days! We've just been trying to break the habit of falling asleep at the boob and/or being rocked to sleep. We've been putting him in the PNP before he totally falls asleep and letting him fuss a little - not full on crying. so he's learning to get himself to sleep. He started to wimper a few times but got back to sleep after a few  minutes. It looks like he's over being swaddled too :)

    You're so right about the diapers. They have to weigh about a pound! it sounds like C is puttin those bottles away! L does about 5-6 ounces when I'm at work, but I nurse him at night  and started with rice cereal too. Though I think I might have to start supplementing with formula for the sitter. I'm having to use frozen milk for the days when I work longer.

  • That's awesome. I'm glad you found something that worked. C will "talk" & then eventually fall asleep. I've noticed the more oz we give him at one feeding (5 1/2 - 7) for daycare the less he eats through out the day. But I still have emergency formula bottles too. I think sending formula for the sitter is a good idea. :) Maybe then you can save some milk in the freezer.
