paloslee readinglove and anyone else that has a big baby, do your LOs still eat at night? I'm trying to decide if we should start trying to night wean.

We no longer do a MOTN feeding. We haven't for awhile. His last bottle is at 730. During the 4month regression he would occasionally wake up and I'd thought he was hungry but he never finished a bottle so that ended quickly.

Our last feed for the evening is around 8:00. If she wakes up after 3:00ish I feed her.

Checking in from the floor of LO's room. DD stuck our video monitor under running water while I had her on the bathroom counter clipping her nails, the only way she would allow me to without a 2 year old meltdown. Monitor was beside the sink from the morning when I was getting ready. I can no longer pair the camaras to the parent unit. So anyway, this is the only way I will hear LO wake since the window ac is on. Fun times. Now to get comfortable on a hard floor.

E was 17 lbs at 5 months. So considered big lol. She nurses every 2 hours at night because she is slowly killing me lol.
My oldest was the same size and ate as often. I don't really believe that size relates to if they should eat at night.

Does this look like a bug bite to you? Or something else?

[rachelilly23]

jewel441 It looks like it could be a bug bite. Were y'all outside at all?

Yes. We went for a walk yesterday and it did seem buggy to me... But I also wouldn't rule out a bug bite in the house... I feel like we are fighting a never ending battle on that front...

LO seems fine. Just looks weird.

Nope - he has STTN since...8ish weeks? I think? We typically do oatmeal and a veggie around 6-6:30, then he'll drink a few ounces (3-6) before bed (7ish) and be good until the morning. He is FF, so that might make a difference. He went through about a week and a half in mid-August where he was waking up and would guzzle 6-8 ounces, but seems to be done with that. Guessing it was a growth spurt.

Has his wake up time been consistent?  E has STTN since about 12 weeks but he's been waking up between 5-6 for the last two weeks.  Previously he'd go till like 7:30.... Ugh.

Our wake up times are very consistent. His like an alarm clock. Between 6-630am he is up.

We just went through this (but between 4 and 5) after a prolonged period of STTN, or at least nights with a single wake-up that only required a paci replacement. But at the same time, he was also constantly trying to eat all damn day long. That's where my question last week came from about a 24 week GS. I knew there was a "6 month" one, I just didn't know if it was truly 6 months or 24 weeks. Because kiddo was NUTS. I could NOT get him to calm down between 4-5am without nursing him, despite trying.

Anyhow he's slept straight through for the last couple nights and I'm hopeful that we may be in the clear, but we'll see.

Good to know we're not alone! I was reading about sleep patterns changing now... and that 4-6 is the period of the night where we're in our lightest sleep. I think maybe its just part of their development?  We just hit 24 weeks today, so seems like its right on track?  An annoying track.

Sorry.

We had our PT evaluation last night. New pedi was slightly concerned about his right arm movement coupled with the Laryngomylacia that it could be CP. the therapist is confident that its just slight torticollis and stretching his neck muscle will allow him to use his right arm more. I was happy. Reflexes and his grip is great. Yay. GI on Thursday and hopefully we can get his reflux under control and then I'll have a happy baby!

The info about the sugar industry paying off Harvard researchers is seriously rocking my world and no one I know personally or professionally is talking about it! This is a big deal dangit!!!

Like this changes almost everything the nutrition field has believed, instructed, and prescribed for decades.

HARVARD! IMO this super tarnished their reputation. And validates some conspiracy theorists too.

Sympathy love tits.... 3 months ago I would have thought 3 wake ups was miserable. Not after the last week.

I just went to get LO from her nap and she had almost gotten herself into a seated position. Whatttt? I thought that didn't happen for awhile?
