My dear baby is eating real food. I gave him rice cereal last night and again tonight in hopes he will sleep through the night. He loved the cereal, but he still likes to wake up during the night. We have started a schedule of sorts. I feed him, then stick him in the bathtub. He plays with his rubber duckie and splashes around, then I wrap him up in a cuddly towel, lie him on the bed and give him a baby massage. He coos and squeals and then we put the diaper back on and nighttime clothes. He lies in the middle of the bed and I lie next to him. I show him two books, and whatever one seems to illicit the best response is read. Then we read it again if he's still excited about it. Then he eats again and we go to sleep. It seems to be working though at getting him to bed at a decent time. We'll see over the next month. I just bought three books on sleep. One by T. Berry Brazelton and two more. Wish me luck!
