I started reading a book called "Healthy Sleeping Habits, Happy Baby" which Ana loaned me a very long time ago. I wish I had picked it up earlier because I have learned a lot about Rowan's sleeping habits and let's just say, the book has made me a believe in the early bed time. I hate putting the little guy in his crib around 7pm, but he wakes up smiley and ready to learn more about his surroundings and his naps are getting longer now too just like the book said they would. He also sleeps from about 7:30pm until 3 or 4am which he was not doing before because I guess he was overtired and not able to stay asleep. I thought we had a good sleeper to begin with because he was relatively easy to put down at night and would go back to sleep immediately after each nighttime feeding. Now we have an amazingly bright eyed happy snoozer who loves to suck his fingers and thumb to soothe himself as he falls asleep not only at night, but during the day too.
I don't think I mentioned that we completed the soy challenge and failed. I had 2 slices of bread with soybean flour and a little soya sauce for lunch on December 4th and within an hour the pooping began. By dinner there was blood which confirmed that he is intolerant. I am praying that the milk challenge on Christmas day will be successful because I really miss cheese and ice cream but I am certain that it will continue to be an issue. I guess I will be happy with one day of going hog-wild on milk containing goodies. In the end, eating this way is better for my shrinking waist line anyway...
I have posted a picture of our well rested bumbo tolerating little guy...
