As I was searching the blog tonight to try and determine where Micah was at from a feeding stage, I realized I wasn't as detailed as I should have been...so I wanted to cover a little of Reid thus far so I have perspective moving forward.
At 6 months, Reid was still eating about 2-3 times at night (and draining the life from his mom :)) and another 4 times throughout the day. We worked hard at dropping 2 of those feedings, which we never had to do with big brother, and currently, at 5 days shy of 8 months (eek! how is that possible??!?) Reid is eating 1 time at night. That means a 5:30 am feeding - (although we've had a couple of nights where's he's slept all the way through) as well as an additional 3-4 times during the day. He is now eating solids 3 times a day, and I'm trying to figure out how to make it 3 nursing sessions during the day, with the additional early morning nursing, making it a total of 4 nursing sessions. I can't quite remember how I transitioned Micah and dropped that afternoon nursing session, making it a snack instead...but I'll figure it out.
So, that's where we're at right now. Hopefully soon we'll be at the 3-4 nursing sessions a day...I think we're close but just trying to adjust to a new schedule that I see on the horizon. Can't believe how much Reid has grown in such a short time frame!
