Since Thursday, Rudy has been a perfect angel. He has eaten every 3-4 hours, 4 most of the time, and hardly cries between eating. He still has had an occasional melt down here or there, but overall, he has been great. The lady who leads the Weight Watchers meeting (btw, Dawn, I get an extra 14 points for nursing!) held a brief "Getting Started" talk afterwards on Thursday. She made the mistake of telling me she was a lactation consultant. Of course I asked lots of questions (in my defense, she did ask how it was going...). Anyway, she said it could be a growth spurt, but he is at the age that throwing him off a schedule and being away from me for that long was most likely the cause of our rough couple days. Whatever it was, I am glad it is over. And before she even told me that, I had told myself I wouldn't go that long without feeding him myself again (while I'm nursing exclusively, of course). As long as he keeps up with this schedule, I'm keeping at the breastfeeding for now.
Side note -- At the "Getting Started" talk, the leader rambled on, talking very fast, and then stopped and said, "Alright, is everyone ready?!?!" We were all quiet. And then Rudy broke the silence. He filled his pants so noticeably loud. Needless to say, we left pretty quickly afterwards. I was imagining his car seat filling up the whole way home. Luckily, we just had a full diaper to take care of!
