the science of sleep

Lesson learned: Babies probably will not sleep all day, then all night as well. Unless, of course, you hold said baby all night long.

In proverb form: Don't let sleeping babies lie, especially if it's light outside.

I blame this one on both of us - me, relieved that Kevin was around all day yesterday, and Kevin, who was excited that Piglet actually liked to be held by him.

Kevin, always the optimist, reminds us that Peter's preferred sleeping posture (in someone's arms) means that he may avoid the flat-head common with those wussy back-to-sleep kids.

No positional plagiocephaly here! Just an increased risk of SIDS.

In other news, Chompers tried his gums at a new form of food: the bottle. To mixed results.

Daddy...and milk? Hmm. Weird events are afoot in the Davis-Ross household.

In somewhat related news, Chompers may have an intestinal infection of sorts (at least, according to Dr. Spock.) Let's just say that there has been much discussion re: the color, consistency, frequency, and odor of recent bowel movements, and none of it is cheerful. (Important note: this took place before bottlefeeding experiment.)

So, tomorrow finds us visiting Dr. Soriano for the fourth time in so many weeks.
