4 months

What?!?  I'm four months already?


Tastiest toes on the planet


Started to bust out of the swaddle so to ween him away he now sleeps with one arm free.  Last month he started to sleep on his own clear through the night.  When I was Idaho by myself I decided I didn't want to do the dream feed at 10 or 11, so I just let him sleep.  To my surprise, he didn't wake to eat in the night and slept clear through.  He's a great sleeper and sleeps clear through the night (7:00pm-7:00am ish) most nights now, even without the dream feed.  How did we get so lucky?! 


He is starting to become a fussy nurser, despite my efforts.  Its mostly that last evening feed that he just wants nothing to do with it.  He sucks and he pulls away and he screams.  I wondered if it was a bit of reflux, or if he was just frustrated at my flow.  I did start to give in and give him more and more bottles, and so really I think he just prefers the bottle over me.  He mostly takes expressed breast milk and I do nurse for most of the day time feedings still.  He is starting to get supplemented with formula as well.  I do like that others get to help with the process.
