Well - last night didn't go over so well. I think he must be going through another growth spurt. Because he wakes up every 2 hours hungry. I can't wait until he can eat rice cereal - they say that is when they really sleep through the night.

We shall see.

Hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful day!!!

No no no! Don't believe the cereal lies! lol Basically, he needs to learn how to put himself back to sleep on his own, that will come with time. He is likely going through a spurt and this too shall pass! Cluster feed before bedtime and keep him awake for a little longer stretch as that helps him learn to sleep longer. J2 slept all night (8+ hours) starting at 2 months - no cereal. After he started eating cereal around 4ish months he started waking every two hours - see? Not related. J3 was sleeping through the night at 3 months - 10+ hours - no cereal. Cereal didn't change anything.

Can you tell it bugs me when people stuff their kids with cereal to get them to sleep but it doesn't really solve anything except to make kids learn to overeat?! The kid will learn to sleep when it's time and with some help, not when mommy wants them to just when she wants!
