Sleep training

Swe cha is doing so well.

So far, he's been going to sleep on his own w/ need of being rocked to sleep and he's consistently sleeping till 7a. By 7a, he stirs and asks for the bottle but he only drinks somewhere between 1-3 oz before falling back to sleep again. He wakes up again for milk at 9a (this time, he drinks more) and goes back to sleep before waking up for the day at around 11a (bedtime is 11p to midnight). I'm thinking that we just need to eliminate the 7a feeding because it does not seem necessary as he drinks so little.

I've also noticed that he sleeps so much better (i.e. no waking up because of gas) when we put aceite de manzanilla on his tummy & back before he goes to sleep.

I'm sort of sad because this means that he should be ready for his transition to the crib, as per my requirements (1. goes to sleep on his own, 2. no more milk in the middle of the night). I miss my baby already.

I also was able to find a nearby daycare facility with an opening, will be dropping by to check it out one of these days. They have F/T and P/T options available so it does seem ideal for us.

Nanny search is still a big fat 0 but I did ask hubby and he does prefer to bring Swe-cha to daycare rather than have him stay home alone with a stranger. Tama rin. I am still hoping to get nanny recommendations though.
