Decisions, decisions, decisions

Well, I have decided NOT to let him cry-it-out. My heart fails me. Anyway, I decided I won't let the both of us suffer... I guess mommy suffering is enough. Wow! What a sacrifice! 

I try to catch a wink whenever he takes a nap... and it seems like he naps better whenever I am not napping. And he naps like 15 minutes sometimes, when I lay down, he is awake! I get so tired sometimes... :(

He had quite a sudden change in his sleeping schedule. He would go to bed by 7pm or 8pm sometimes... and would wake up at 5.30am or 6am. That's WAY TOO EARLY for me! He sleeps well from 7pm to 2.3am, that's when he wakes up for a feed. From then on, he has disturbed sleep and would whimper and wiggle about. Somehow, whenever he moves or make a sound, I would get up. So I get up quite a few times each night but promptly goes back to sleep again since I was so tired. 

Now I am trying to put him in a more predictable schedule... a 4 hourly feed and a nap after every feed, if possible. He is not drinking as much milk as he should, but the PD says he is fine and will take whatever he wants so I should stop worrying. His pants seems to be lose lately, I hope he is not loosing weight, although he feels heavier to me. He is either really heavier or my arms are failing me.

I absolutely love it when he smiles at me and when I manage to make him laugh. It really makes my day... and that's what I look forward to everyday, besides 10pm (so I can go to bed!).

Oh, and I am glad that the milk supply is S L O W L Y increasing again :)
