curlimum Sebastian was born 28/10, so he was 4 1/2 months on Sunday.
Iggly Sebby used to be a once a day baby, then started only going every two to three days. He's still on the two to three days, but with the Infant Gaviscon is a bit constipated sometimes and his poos are the consistancy of playdough. Good for me no more bum explosions and so easy to clean up! but bad for him because sometimes he's straining and straining to go. On another positive, though, I always know when I'm facing a stinky bum (he goes red in the face and his eyes get watery when he's going).
devils Seb doesn't have diaper rash, but I try to give him a bit of air-time every day. However, that always seems to end up in wee everywhere! I usually open him up and wait for up to a minute before removing the nappy and still leaving him to air results in wee! However, nothing was as funny as the day he caught himself in the face....
I'm hoping to ebf until 6 months before thinking of food. In fact, if/when I go to the States for Mother's Day, Sebby will be 6 1/2 months and am thinking of trying him on a bit of food while we're there. I'll be relaxed and will have all day to try/play/experiment (as opposed to here where we seem to have a group/appointment/meeting just about every day). I'd also like to go up to a year, but am torn between weening him off breast milk as soon as possible after 6 months so I can start my treatments in the autumn or going until one year and doing treatments in the spring 2011. So many things to think about!
Seb's still requesting the dairy bar be opened every two hours at night. I'm sooo tired. However, have noticed that during the day his cycles seem to be about 1 1/2 to 3 hours -- eating/playing/sleeping. Is it normal to have such wide swings of awake/asleep? And sometimes he'll nap for 15 minutes and other times for 90. I can't seem to find a pattern or rationale for it all.
