Baby diary: 23 weeks 1 day
May. 23rd, 2019 10:31 amAlan is now easily able to turn tummy to back, even though I rarely catch him at it. And when I put him to nap in my bed he does so easily, with a few pats. So I'm starting to train him to sleep in his own crib. He's still waking me up 3-4 times a night and I don't think he needs to: he's just using me as a pacifier for a few minutes, to get himself back to sleep.
I put him down in his crib for his mid-morning nap just now, with his stuffed penguin. He cried for a bit, but didn't work himself up into a massive tantrum as I'd feared. Now he's asleep, sniffling and holding onto the railings of his baby jail. ^^;; The hope is that if I keep doing it the same way he'll get used to it. Now I just have to make sure my mom's onboard.
Yesterday, before yoga, I gave him a bit of the strained lamb for breakfast. (It's readymade, like a tiny frozen TV dinner, but is organic and doesn't contain additives.) But OH MY GOD, this stuff is a grey sludge that looks and smells worse than cat food. He ate about a tablespoon, and for the rest of the day and night made really terrible-smelling farts. No wonder the neighbour's baby didn't want it! I have half a mind to chuck it all out and go with baby-led weaning, but truth to say I'm also a bit complexed about letting A. make a mess of food everywhere (I'm a compulsive clean-plater).
I think I'll try making him the sort of things my sister and I ate as '80s Chinese babies (congee and egg "pudding"), though we were both spoon-fed well past the point we should have been.
