Finn is on a nursing marathon today. What that means is that Finn will be breastfeeding as much as possible today. Hopefully all that extra suckling time will send a message to my breasts to make more milk. It is worth a try. You are supposed to stay in bed all day, but that doesn't seem very practical to me. I also continue to take the fenugreek supplement and I must be getting used to it because it doesn't taste nearly as bad as it did the first time I took it.
Finn's colic seems to be getting somewhat better, too. Now that I say that, he will probably have a terrible night tonight...you know how babies are! But we've found that if we keep him on a consistent dose of Tylenol and if he gets plenty of sleep, his bouts of inconsolable screaming seem to be less often and less intense. He has had colic for three weeks now, so it is my hope that he is transitioning out of this phase as well.
Finn is SO close to rolling over (from tummy to back)! This is a huge step for us because even a week ago, he showed no signs of even attempting it, let alone almost doing it (he couldn't even lift his head to start the process of rolling over). I think it is in large part because he sleeps on his tummy for naps. I found him several times partially rolled over and just his arm was in the way. I wonder if I had let him lay there longer if he would have figured it out. Each time, I help him finish rolling over, so he starts to know what it feels like to do it. So, we'll see!
