We are so proud of Ian. In the 9 days that we've had him, he has already grown in leaps and bounds. He no longer cries when we diaper change him, and he's nursing magnificently. He feeds for about the same amount of time (30 minutes) and just about the same space of time in between (3 hours).
His neck muscles are really strengthening, his arms and legs are wiggling about like crazy, and the rest of his body seems to be catching up with his monstrously large hands.
Last night the colic tried to get ahold of him, but I managed to get him to calm down in about 45 minutes and we slept for a couple of hours until I woke us both up for a feeding. It was nice to let Jason sleep the night through and Ian cooperated perfectly. After the 3-4am feeding, he went right back to bed and slept until 7am. To ensure this keeps up, I'm hitting the aisles at Babies R Us to buy a Swaddleme and Colic Massage Pad. Let's hope these help!
When we diaper change him? Mama, you tired? Did you milk feed him too late last night? Thanks for the extra zzz's. It was much appreciated.
