Sometimes I just don't know if I'm doing it right. Ask another mom and they all say that parenting is you do the best you can with the knowledge and intuition you have. I laid in bed last night as you wiggled between me and Dads and listened to you wake up. It was about 3am and you've been sleeping with us for about 4 nights. You had a 101 degree fever on Friday and Saturday, refusing to be left alone. I really don't blame you; I'm not blaming you for wanting to be with us when you're sick.
There are days when I count the number of times you woke up the night before. Days when I count how much 8 ounce bottles you've drank. Days when I worry you haven't eaten enough solid food and are regressing to infant formula only. Nights when I think you should be sleeping through the night by now at least a couple times a week and not needing to wake up to eat. Since you began refusing pureed food, I feel like I need to give you more formula to keep you satiated. Days when I'm frustrated that I've yet to meet a mom who DIDN'T let their kid cry it out at bedtime. Am I doing anything wrong?
I remember you're so little. Quite possibly you are moving into the manipulation stage. 10 months old (just shy a couple days) Unless you're asleep when we put you in your crib, you are not a fan of being put in your crib then left alone. It's more work but parenting is work. When do you get to the point when we put you in your crib, tell you it's time to go night-night, and you sleepily lay down on your own?
You ate some tomato and avocado cubes today. That's an improvement over the last month.
