So earlier today Mom and I noticed that it seemed like Deagan was working really hard to get milk out of his bottle. He's been on the slow flow nipples since he was born. Today we changed to the medium flow and the boy sucked down some milk!!! He normally eats about 3 to 4oz before drifting off to sleep. He ate 5oz, and then an hour and a half later he ate another 3oz! I gave him a bath after that and put him in his crib. He barely even flinched when I laid him down!
Oh, by the way... the whole "let him cry" deal from my previous blog... well, let's just put it this way, after his bottle he was snuggled up to me in my bed for the rest of the night. LOL. I'm not ready for him to not need my comfort to fall asleep. Maybe at 6 months... But I'm hoping with him eating more with the medium flow nipples he'll sleep longer anyway. Score... he sleeps longer and I still get my cuddles!

we never just let Jack cry. And he adjusted to sleeping throughout the night and everything all on his own. Matter of fact he usually tells us he is ready for bed at bedtime and as soon as we put him down he is out. Some nights after he has had a lot of stimulation we have to lay down with him, but even that is not bad, I love doing it the few times he needs it. So you do whatever you feel is right, you'll figure it out you are a great mother!
ooo and once he is okayed for solids they almost always as soon as that happens just sleep straight through!
