Then from 4:00, 5:00 to 6:30 and 7:30 - total of 3 oz diluted milk (1 part water to 3 parts milk).
Today, he noticed the diluted milk and couldn't go back to sleep when he woke up at 5am. He would suck on the bottle, cry, suck and cry some more. I get the feeling that he's hungry and wants something more substantial than watery milk. My heart aches.
We also got him to sleep tonight w/o his bottle, it took 35 minutes of crying. Hubby and I wanted to give in but we kept encouraging each other to hold on for a few more minutes as we didn't want to waste all of Swe-cha's crying as giving in now would undo everything we've done. I cried along with him.
Today, I appreciated the fact that hubby and I are in this together and that we have the support & encouragement of friends to push us along. It's so much easier to just give in.
