It's been a rough couple of nights because my 6 month old has, for some reason, started to wake up in the middle of the night. He was really sick for about a week and throwing up everything he ate, so I started to feed him in the middle of the night just to get some nutrients in him. Now that he's been better for a few days, I decided to break the habit. Easier said than done.
He woke up at 4:15 and cried until 5! Finally, I went in there, changed his diaper, gave him a snuggle and tucked him back in. He fell asleep almost instantly and stayed asleep until 8:30. And when he woke up, he sucked down that bottle! I'm relieved, because the past few days he just hasn't wanted his morning bottle because of his middle of the night snacks.
Our schedule seems to be back on track and he is so much happier. He just ate a great big lunch and is getting ready to go back down for his 2nd nap of the day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tonight!
