I think my little Julian (born at 6 lb 1 oz is 10 lbs now at 5 weeks...he's been a great eater!). <BR/><BR/>As for the jaundice...I'm so glad LL's levels didn't get too high. Jules did and we had to do the whole blue lights thing (it was a nightmare for that 1st week), and we had to feed him a lot more (that's what screwed up my bfing plan). I'm glad the sunlight worked and that LL is a natural sunbather! :)<BR/><BR/>As for the sleep issues...I've found that a few things work well for us...giving a light/snack feeding just before bed (it helps to calm/soothe Jules), swaddling (we found this to be key), and carrying down (this is a technique I read about in our baby book - you pretty much carry/cradle baby in a dark/quite room, lightly sing/humming to baby and rock baby in your arms to calm down and help fall asleep). <BR/><BR/>The key to carrying down is to wait to put baby in cradle/crib until baby is sound asleep (limp)...that way baby won't wake from the change in venue when you put baby down. <BR/><BR/>This works for us...maybe it'll help you.

(No naps = insatiable crying fits.)<BR/><BR/>Hmmm...lying naked in the sun, huh? Sounds like a move to a nudist colony might be in order. Good thing you don't live here in Seattle because all you could accomplish here in November is the lying naked part!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985331491572039777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4394740867252866786.post-83053891531390675092008-11-03T04:50:00.000-08:002008-11-03T04:50:00.000-08:00Healthy baby is the best .. all others will fall i...Healthy baby is the best .. all others will fall into place.

I love hearing updates about you and LL!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650186640428219734noreply@blogger.com
