feeding, family, and fun

Just a quick post to update you on what's going on with us. Luckily the day of no sleep was so far a one and only. He slept ok that night, just the norm. In general he is moving to feeding every three hours instead of every two, so that's good and makes sense since he's growing so fast!! He is even wearing a pair of 3-6 month pants today! In other feeding news, you ladies were right that breastfeeding ends up being easier than bottle! We've tried bottles less than five times, but following our doc's advice we're gonna keep using them every so often so that he continues to take breast and bottle without a struggle. My friend's six month old son took a bottle early on, but after a while of exclusive breastfeeding, now won't take the bottle. This is fine except she's planning to return to work soon. I want to keep my options open. Also, after experimenting I gotta say Dr. Brown bottles do seem to be the best. And my Medela PIS seems to be a good buy too.

In other news, the Erlewine clan is arriving today. Meg is moving in next door so that's super cool. She has had troubles with moving trucks but they are finally on their way; Tom is even coming all the way from LA to meet his nephew! They won't get here until 8 or 9 tonight, and they have to leave Sunday, but it will be neat to have the whole fam here.
