The Week of Potential Schedules

Lucien is now 2 months old.  He made through his 9th week as we tried out many different schedules all week long.  The week started with a dinner party in which we had some friends over.  I shared thoughts with another Mom about getting Lucien to sleep through the night - or at least not wake every 3 hours.  She recommended a book called "Babywise" by Ezzo which I immediately ordered on Amazon.  I also received another recommended schedule from Grandma Jean which suggests feeding your baby every 4 hours and to hold the baby off until the next feeding.  We tried it and it lasted almost one day.  When Lucien is hungry he lets you know!  He almost tore a hole through his pacifier that day.  So now we are back to Lucien's favorite schedule - eating every 2-3 hours.  Maybe he's still in growth spurt.  We'll find out at the doctor next week.

Babywise isn't based on sound research. . . Be careful if and when you implement it.
