Some good and not so good news

Here's the bad news: Last Friday I said Philip has a four hour stretch at night. The night before I wrote that was the last one he's had. 

We spent a month trying to get him to wake up enough to eat. And now? Philip will not sleep unless he's being held. Even at night. I get maybe an hour. 

The good news is he will finally take the soother consistently. Not sure why I spent weeks trying to get my kid addicted to something I hate the principle of but it sure gives me a break when he wants to suckle for hours. 

The other good news is he hasn't needed much from the bottle lately either. He's taking maybe 2-3oz per day. Yessss. I am winning the feeding. Except he nurses every 2-3 hours day and night now. Oh well, such is life. 

Oh one more bad news: I think I got mastitis when I quit pumping. And it's HORRENDOUS. 

I should end on good news...Philip's still growing! Yay!
