Hungry

Madison has started to want to eat about every 2 to 2.5 hours, but she only takes like 2 or 3 ounces. I asked the pediatrician about it last week. He said that since she was strictly formula fed that she shouldn't eat but every 3.5 to 4 hours. So, we aren't supposed to feed her any sooner than 3.5 hours, and we are supposed to just let her cry. He said that crying is good for them. It's like their aerobic workout. I wanted to ask him if he wanted to come and be around her during her aerobic workout. Anyway, last night Grammy stopped by. She had to pick up her new glasses, and she was close by. Well, Grammy fed her fairly soon after she got here, and she took 6 ounces. However 2 hours later, Miss Madison thought she was hungry.

She started sticking out her bottom lip and crying. Grammy thinks that when she sticks out that bottom lip that it is "just a hoot." Mommy and Daddy don't find it as funny. So, Grammy decided to try and give her the pacifier, but that works for about 2 sucks.


Finally, Grammy decided that Miss Madison should try and be rocked. So, she took her into the nursery to rock her. Well, that didn't work either.

In the end, I told Grammy to go give her to her Daddy. For whatever reason, he can really calm her down. I wish I would have gotten a picture of that, but I didn't. He just puts her low on his chest and strokes her. She was out like a light within about 5 minutes, and she stayed that way until it was time for her bath. She has such a wonderful Daddy!!
