My baby is almost 4 months old and has a cold. Should I follow the routine, or should I let him sleep? His appetite has not been good for the past couple of weeks, so waking for hunger is not much of an issue. He has had a lot of trouble sleeping the past few days (the cold started yesterday), and my inclination is to let him sleep, although I know it will take us off of the routine.
Stats: We've been on the 3 hour schedule for almost 2 months, I think, and we were just starting to transition him to the 4 hour one. He is 17 lbs and has almost doubled in birth weight. He is formula-fed. He may be starting to teeth, and just gained a lot of weight before his appetite decreased recently. I think he must be a textbook baby, because he has followed the Baby Whisperer plan very well.
