Experiments in sleeping and eating

Cameron has been eating every three hours since he came home from the hospital. We tried to increase the gap to 4 hours at night once, but that is when his acid reflux symptoms really came on strong. We had to go back to three hours.
To fight his discomfort from the reflux, he slept in his car seat for awhile. We also started to hold him upright more often when he wasn't sleeping. He has also been on Zantac, which has helped a lot. He is now out of the car seat sleeping and being tolerant of an angled crib mattress instead. He has been doing great.

So, after feeling mean for waking him up from a sound sleep to eat in the middle of the night (mean to him and us), we decided to try pushing the gap to four hours again. This resulted in 2 days of absolute moodiness on Cameron's part. He still had times of happy and alert interaction, (See picture on the right). But that was mixed with more than a normal amount of crying and fussing (See picture on the left). Alas, his stomach is just not big enough yet to handle the bigger quantities of one less meal a day.

Back to a little less sleep in exchange for a little more sanity...
