Just as I was getting the hang of things...

...E-chan is changing. Haven't quite worked out how to manage his new feed/play/settle cycle. Result: more crying. Had paranoid dreams last night, where people in our block of units were pointing at our flat saying "that's the unit where the crying baby lives..."

Am still b-feeding him a bit, and that is probably the unknown component, as we don't really know how much food he is getting. He has reduced the number of feeds he's having in a 24 hour period, and eating less in the mornings. I don't think I'm reading the cues wrong. Will weigh him today and see how much he has grown this past week. Last week, he had apparently grown quite a lot, so if there is a similar pattern this week, I'll stop worrying and know we are doing just fine.

E-chan's little cousin, Tommy, has been having episodes of aponea (ie he stops breathing). He is still in hospital although his mum has been discharged. They are yet to find the cause, but can eliminate any heart or brain abnormalities.
