Lucas is getting so big. He will be 6 months old this Monday (the same day Spencer turns 30)! We have been trying to sit him up and crawl lately...obviously that isn't happening yet, but we sure laugh playing around with him. He has also been eating baby food. I thought I'd try making his baby food and so far so good. I have done Organic Carrotts, Organic Sweet Potatoes and some Broccolli..ok so I am rethinking the broccolli because I know that causes gas, but I'm going to try it anyway until I can get to the store to get some other veggies. Now I know you are supposed to try 1 food a week at a time, but so far he has been fine with everything. He loves food and I swear he could eat a ton!
Also...help! Lucas was sleeping 12 hours a night from the time he was like 3 months old. Now for the last 4-5 nights he has been going to bed between 7:45-8:30pm and then he is waking up by midnight crying and screaming!!! Then he finally goes back to bed, but I have to feed him to get him to be happy. Obviously that is what makes him happy, but I can't keep doing this every night. I'm kinda tired! Any thoughts? I'm waiting for my "On Becoming Baby Wise" book for ages 5 1/2 months-18 months to arrive. Yes, that is my Baby Bible!!! So any advise would be great about now!
kade went through that around 3-4 months. he just wanted more to eat before he went to bed which is when we started rice cereal with expressed breastmilk in the bottle. but lucas might be too old for that. it worked wonders for us though. that and lavander baths before bed. we never again had a problem with it. good luck!
ReplyDeleteI would go with a big bowl of rice cereal before bed, like the other comment. It sounds like he is just getting hungry.
ReplyDeletePs....Maybe I should try the rice cereal with the fruit in it, he hates the plain rice cereal since he has now tasted veggies!
