Hayden constantly grunts in his sleep, and contorts his body as if straining to make a bowel movement. It often appears he wakes himself while doing this making his sleeping patterns a little weird. From what we've read, we should expect some of this up to 4 weeks as his disgestive system gets used to working independently from the former food source...the placenta.
I fret about every little thing that seems weird and want to call the doctor. Crystal is a little more relaxed and is better at dealing with things as they come up.
According to a handout from Hayden's pediatrician, he should be eating every 3 to 4 hours and consuming 2.5 to 3 ounces of milk at each feeding. We've found he usually prefers to eat every 2 hours, and occasionally will go 3 hours before feedings.
