Re: I HAVE 3 QUESTIONS......

September 16, 2005

Just thought I would jump in - my son is 24 weeks around 2 -3 weeks

ago he slowed down on eating and in the past couple of days he's back

up and running. My pediatric doctor told me sometimes they aren't

hungrey. He also pushed his bottle away when he didn't want to eat -

in addition he is teething and I don't know if this has been

mentioned but teething makes them eat less. Carol - I saw your

message below about the star teether - my son loves it!

In addition - he also just went to 30 minute naps - I can't keep him

down for longer than that. And he only stays awake every 2 hours. Do

you have the book - Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child - I love this

book. However, I must say my son was a colic baby - so napping is not

an easy task - due to post colic. Until recently, I could get him

down for 1 1/2 - 2 hours. In the past two weeks he will only nap for

30 minutes as well. Let me know if you find anything that works to

get him to sleep longer.
