Sometimes I would get so mixed up as to what the crying was signaling. I tried to keep a schedule of sorts, but it went out the window and I fed on demand in the end. Finally, after a couple months, feeding became 3-4 hourly....and longer stretches at night eventually!<br /><br />One of our babies took a "dummy" (South African for "pacifier") and the other one didn't....I always say that I was his "dummy". If he wasn't sucking, then it was movement he wanted (we paced all over the house)--once on a trans-Atlantic flight at age 4 mos, he was screaming so much (colic) that the stewardesses said "would you like to sit with us?" Once his little "carry cot" was positioned over the rumble of the airplane's engine where the cabin crew was located, baby went right to sleep. Don't know who was happier--me or the rest of the passengers!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122656833028913453noreply@blogger.com
