Milestones: Longest night of sleep: 5/21 - 9 hours
After I posted last week, Caleb went back to his 3.5 - 4.5 hour stretches. He always seems to have SOO much gas when he wakes up in the middle of the night. Finally on Tuesday night he went 9 hours. It was amazing! Then the next night he went back to 4.5 hours, he was very fussy and gassy. On Thursday he did 8.5 hours so we will see what tonight brings. If he starts to sleep through the night consistently, I will be one happy momma!
Last week I also posted about eliminating dairy from my diet in hopes of helping Caleb's fussiness and gassiness. He went another 4 day stretch without pooping and when he did - I noticed it had mucous in it (TMI, I know, I'm sorry!). This was a sign I had read about when babies have a dairy intolerance. I felt bit validated and less crazy for trying the no dairy diet. I decided to make Caleb a Dr.'s appointment just to see their thoughts and make sure it wasn't anything more.
I saw Dr. Lim on Tuesday and she agreed that everything I described (fussiness after eating, gassiness, mucous in poop) was most likely a dairy intolerance and to keep on eliminating it from my diet like I have been. Towards the end of the week I definitely noticed a difference in the amount of gas Caleb has, and he's starting to sleep so maybe the gas pains are what were waking him up? He's still fussy during the day sometimes, but I think a bit less so? For now, I'll keep with it and see how it goes.
