No Mamae, Day Six

You drank 6oz and were out immediately. Easy to put you in the crib. But you woke up quite a lot (9, 9:30, 12:10).

You woke up at 1:50am and I couldn’t get you back to sleep. You let out a big fart so I thought I’d give you some Simethicone. That woke up you completely (walking around to find it, turning on lights). So I decided to feed you. You patiently waited for me to make a bottle of breastmilk. You drank all 5oz and wouldn’t go to sleep. I showed you the bottle and you picked it up to drink more. So I took you downstairs again to make another bottle. You drank all 4oz and slept pretty easy.

You woke up at 5:30am and I got you to go back to sleep.

At 6:20am I took you to vovo.

No Mamae, Day Five

I don’t remember the specifics (see below) but I think you drank 4oz and went to sleep pretty good.

You woke up at 1:50am. Gave you 60z, you drank it all. Put you back in the crib.
You woke up again at 4:30am. I put you back to sleep by patting your butt but that didn’t last very long and you woke up at 4:45. I gave you another 4oz of formula.
I tried to get you back to sleep, but it wasn’t working. So I brought you back to our bed but you were wide awake. After ~30min of trying to hold your or pat your butt, I gave up and took you to vovo at 5:30am.

You ate 2oz and went to sleep.

No Mamae, Day Four

Drank 4oz formula, every drop.
Cried when I tried to put you down. Couldn’t calm you in the crib so had to pick you up. You did your hum sleep noise for awhile and then I put you down before you slept, I sang to try to get you used to falling asleep in your crib with singing instead of being held. Seemed to work out pretty well.
We even watched a movie for movie night and you didn’t wake up.
You woke up at 2~ pretty upset. Took awhile for you to realize I had a bottle for you. You drank about 4-5oz and then you were WIDE awake. I put you back in the crib and you played for 20~ min. I decided to leave the room to see if you’d fall asleep yourself. You might have except you got your legs stuck in the crib slots. So I picked you up, tried to give you the bottle. You took a quick sip and decided you didn’t want it. So I walked around holding you until you got sleepy. Tried again to put you in the crib while awake and sang to you. Seemed to work ok.

(I think) you woke up around 6:15 so I took you to vovo.

No Mamae, Day Three

You drank all mamae’s milk today (almost 4oz). I tried to put you down too soon so had to pick you up again (I’m trying to get you to learn to fall asleep in bed instead of while you’re being held).

You woke up while I was reading to Julia.
But you slept until 2:15am (of course I went to bed “early” at 2am).
Gave you 6oz of formula (which you finished) and put you in your crib.
Of course Julia woke up at 5am so I went to her room with your radio.
You woke up at almost 7am so i took you to vovo.

No Mamae, Day Two

Julia wanted to give you the bottle. You drank a tiny bit (1/4oz) and then refused it completely.
Took a LONG time to get you to go to sleep.

Maybe a considence, but I put a stuffed animal above your head and one behind our back.
You slept till 3am without any waking up! And you work up happy/talking/not crying.
Gave you 6oz of formula quite fast, put you back in the crib.
You woke up not 5 min later (not really crying, but looking around).
I went back, changed your diaper (not really that wet) and gave you another 4oz of formula, which you drank every drop.
Back in the crib very easy.
You woke up at 6:45am pretty happy! Gave you to vovo.

And Julia slept thru the night.

Too bad I didn’t go to sleep until 5am.

No Mamae, Day One

It went pretty well (though Mamae didn’t seem to agree). At least it went better than I thought.
You took your bath like normal. Took your medicine (reflux, still). You grabbed the bottle after I finally heated it up to a nice body temp.
You held the bottle yourself and ate 3 of 4oz.
You did not want to go to sleep and cried with a little more force than usual. You didn’t want the bottle anymore.
Vovo helped and you slept till 11:30pm
I put you back to sleep. I think you woke up one more time before 2:30am when I tried to feed you.
You were falling asleep while I was making the bottle. I tried to give it to you but you would have nothing to do with it.
Put you back to sleep.
(Julia work up at 3am. her room was warm! even with the fan on).
You woke up again at 3:30am. I tried to feed you the bottle but you didn’t want it. Then you woke up and took the bottle and drank all 6oz! And went to sleep, pretty much straight till 6am.
(I worked until 4:20am)
(Julia woke up at 5am, took her to her room and slept in her bed).
At 6am I tried to get you to go back to sleep, but you’d have nothing to do with that. I gave you some stuffed animals to play with, and that worked for a short time, but then you wanted out.
I took you to vovo and I slept till 11:30am.

2nd Tooth

Your second tooth poked out today (middle your right).

You sure seem to be sleeping better now that it is out.

To bad Tylenol doesn’t seem to help when you are teething. 1. You HATE the taste (which is weird because Julia LOVES it and I think it smells great). 2. Doesn’t seem to make a bit of difference if you’ve taken it or not, you’re still fussy at night. 3. Mostly just fussy at night (why only at night?) 4. Picking you up mostly calms you down (making me wonder if teething is your problem).

You still woke up twice between 8:30pm and 1:20am, but that is better than normal.
