Everyone told me things would get better and yes I believed them.
Like, baby M has finally learned to sleep through the night. Actually he managed that from 3mths + onwards. Though he would still stir during his sleep at night so I still wake up maybe once or twice to pat him back to sleep. The longest stretch of non-interrupted sleep I had was 5 hours and it was such a treat.
Baby M is smiling more, laughing more, making funny sounds, screaming, rolling over these days. He's a joy to watch. It is amazing to watch him grow and pick up new skills, or reach new developmental milestones. I remember the hubs and I were so amazed when he first learned to roll over. Nowadays we are wishing he would roll over less though lol.
However, baby M has been drinking less and less milk. We used to feed him 170ml every 3 hours, but these days he doesn't finish the 170ml at one go like he used to. Instead, we have to separate it into 2 feedings (within 1 hour). Most times, he finishes the remaining during the second feed but there would still be times when he wouldn't. We've also started stretching his feed to 3.5-4 hours. Mainly because he just doesn't seem hungry. We are actually quite puzzled over this as well and would want to check with the PD at his next vaccination.
What is comforting is that he's still gaining weight (he's a proud 9.1kg baby at 4 months 3 weeks!), pooping regularly (once a day) and playing/laughing/smiling as usual. So I'm not too uptight.
I'm back at work so will get a chance to blog more in future. Moving to new house soon though so gonna be busy for a while! Once baby M starts his solids when he touches 6 months, I suppose there would be tonnes of things to share and review! :)
