Schedule?

If you purchase something after clicking on the links in this post, I’ll probably earn a few bucks from it. We aren’t talking enough for a mansion or yacht but more like chocolate and wine. And if I mention a product, I probably got a sample and possibly a cash payment. Remember that all Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings are 100% my own and may not represent your experience.

We have interesting situation going on with Will.  For the last couple of days, he has been completely off.  It use to be that he would have around 4 oz of breastmilk about every 2 (aff) – 3 (aff) hours.  The last two days he eats an ounce or two (or three sometimes!) then falls asleep.  This goes on all day.  He actually has been eating more because of this.

I know you are saying well then make him eat the whole bottle.  Wake him up.  I can't do that though.  He has baby reflux, so I end up wearing it if we overfeed him (I end up wearing it even when he isn't overfed).  I have just let him do this thing, but I was wondering if anyone had some insight into this.

  1. love the new layout, as for the baby problem, at his age, I think you are doing the right thing, just let him make his own schedule for a while, reflux is no fun, it might feel better for him to only eat a little each time, but I know it is hard on you 🙁 Maybe ask the Doc next visit if he should be on a diff formula. Good luck!

  2. It's breastmilk, so it isn't like I can change it. LOL Unless we put him on formula.

    It is just really hard to get anything done. I am dying for a shower right now, but he doesn't stay sleeping long enough!

  3. This too shall pass, believe me. 🙂 One thing a nurse told me waaaay back when my first child was born is that a baby will never starve him/herself, and if they fall asleep, let them sleep. His inner clock will eventually regulate itself. Until then, I'm afraid showers are at a premium. It won't last that long, though. In fact, as sleep-deprived as you are, try to cherish every moment, as it all goes by so fast!

  5. I figure as long as he is eating we should be fine. It is just frustrating to a point. However, maybe this has something to do with his reflux. maybe not. That's the tough thing about kids. They can't tell you.

    Sounds like a growth spurt in the making. If he's taking in more overall, he's just adjusting to the need for more food with his reflux. They're small but pretty savvy. 🙂 Unfortunately with four smarties of my own – I'm in trouble.

    Great blog. I'll be back.
