Ready or Not!
So...the doctor assured me that Brody did not need to eat at the 3:00 a.m. feeding and that perhaps I should let him "cry it out" a while. Being that he is the doctor and I am not, we gave it a whirl. After 45 minutes of crying, putting the pappy back in, and patting the back, Matt made a 4 oz. snack and he sucked it dry in 2.6 seconds and was right back to sleep. To me that says "I'm hungry". Brody's doctor also thought it would be best not to give him cereal until he is 6 months old. And again, I don't agree. So whether he was ready or not...he got it and he loved it and I loved the end result! For the first time in his life, Brody slept through the night!!! He went down at 10 p.m. and woke up to eat at 6:21. Needless to say...he has had a touch of cereal every night since.
