As instructed by the pediatrician, Collin is now eating every 2.5 to 3 hours. It did take two sessions for him to figure out that he will not be waiting 4 to 5 hours between eating and not getting a bottle with breast milk. He is now nursing for a total of 40 minutes and then we play for about 15 minutes. During the day, he does fall asleep after that...most of the time. At night, we do have to stay up with him for at least an hour after he eats. I do think his early mornings are better than they have been. Maybe he is growing up and getting the hang of it. However, since he eats every 2.5 to 3 hours, this does not leave much time in between meals to do much of anything else. I thought I would run an errand early this afternoon but have not been able to make it out of the house. It's been raining most of the afternoon, so that has not helped.
We went for a walk this morning for about 20 minutes. He was awake for most of it.
This evening, we plan to see Mimi for her birthday dinner.
