From "on demand" to Babywise

We nursed on demand for about 2-3 weeks (so hard!! Sometimes we nursed every hour and a half, which means only about 30 minutes breaks for us between eating sessions!). We started babywise scheduling, and we were off to a bumpy start. Now that we're coming up on week 4, were doing much better and sometimes baby gets a 2+hour nap I during the day and great sleep at night! It's still rather challenging to put baby down awake and have her fall asleep, but I do feel like we're making progress, especially for those morning naps. The last sleep of the day is the hardest. I think I need to do some more reading...

The best part this week has been that Moses has been at Nana and Grandpa's, so I've been able to really concentrate on Eden and get her into a groove. I'm so thankful! She's most eating every 2.5 to 3 hours and has done a few 4 hour stretches at night. 

She weighed 11 pounds at her appointment the day before yesterday! To the doctor who tried her nasty guilt and fear tactics to get us to supplement with formula, I think the appropriate respond is: BOO YAH. 

So, newborn clothes are packed away! At her weigh in last Friday, she was 10 lbs 4 oz, so she's gaining a lot of ounces each day. Babies are amazing. Even the 3 month clothes aren't really that big on her! I think she's growing out of those swaddling outfits too. Just as well, sometimes I think she hates them. Plus, I wonder if she's just too hot in them. #sweatybaby
