Good eating day

According to my last post I was going to be tackling nighttime nursings. Hmmm. Nothing new to report there. I need to form a plan, I suppose. Last night she fed about as frequently as she normally does (every 2 hours), but she didn't wake up as much in apparant discomfort. It was just more whiney, like, where is the boob, sort of fussiness. So that's good.

I'm not sure what will happen tonight because she's already asleep in the carseat (nice long drive will do that) but we haven't given her her Zantac yet. Will be interesting to see if she's more fussy tonight.

But, she did eat lots of food today. My husband got up with her this morning and fed her some carrots mixed with rice cereal. Then he brought her back to bed to me to nurse because she was still fussy. But I thouht he said that she wouldn't eat. So, when she woke up (she fell asleep nursing) I fed her more carrots and cereal. Then at dinner she ate avocado smooshed up with cereal and gulped the whole thing down. This is only the second time she's finished what we prepared for her. (And I have no idea how much that was. I'll have to start measuring.) Then we gave her some Earth's Best 2 carrots not mixed with anything. I think she likes them the best on their own, but I want to make sure she's getting iron from the cereal.

Then she had some healthy swigs of formula. Tomorrow I think I'll work more on getting her to drink more formula. Maybe I'll even try a bottle again. She doesn't last too long on the sippy cup before she pushes it away. Not sure why. And holding the cup up to her mouth is so messy and I have no idea how much she really gets becuase so much runs down her chin.

As for the nightime plan, I'll see how it goes tonight and come up with a plan tomorrow.
