thanks! I'm trying to stay aware of the solids thing. We actually did yams, not sweet potatoes (yams in America are more like kumara).
Today he slept in a little bit and we dropped the CN. It was actually a decent day in terms of his EASY. A 2 hr and 1.75 hr nap. His nanny is great about keeping him up so if I mention it to her to try to stretch out the morning A, she'll be open to that. I already talked to her about trying to drop the evening CN.
We decided he must need more to eat, so we started him today on a bit more (7 oz instead of 6 oz in his bottles, he has 2 during the day). And yes, he's still taking the solids twice a day. We are hoping the solids helps with satiety. We did yams (in America yams are like kumara) as his next food. In a few days, I think we'll go to apples or pears. We're making his food ourselves and I'm not sure if pears are in season at the moment.
So far today has gone fairly well. He's just down to bed now and it's not as bad as it has recently been. He's not going straight down, but he's not doing the smile, "I want to play!" We're working on SLOWing down and working on the self soothing. It's not CIO, but I'm letting him have a bit of a fuss and reach a cry before intervening. Unfortunately, he still can't roll himself to his side, or put the binky in himself. One problem at a time! I'm pretty sure he's nearing rolling and I know binky retrieval isn't far, too. So we might just wait it out.
No, the sick-ups don't seem painful 97% of the time. Sometimes they seem to make him uncomfortable, but not that often. His threshold for sick ups just seems pretty low. Which should start getting soon too I hope!
I had thought about the wonder weeks. I think you're right. I think this is a wonder week with a growth spurt. That's my final thought. Possibly with the 3-2 transition. Which is more than enough for one LO! (and two exhausted parents).
Tonight I am hopeful. I will check back in in a few days and let you know how it goes!
BTW, congrats on your pregnancy! As much of a challenge as this has been (especially with having to go back to work) I absolutely love being a mom and look forward to #2 (and #3!). I mean, one thing at a time, I know, but still. It's the best thing ever.
