I don't think he is a high maintenance baby (he doesn't cry inconsolably) but neither is he a good baby (content most of the time, goes to sleep easy). I consider him pretty average, but considering this is the only baby that I have spent this much time with, I don't know for sure.
I am starting to get pretty worried about going back to work in 3 weeks. If it was only down to one night feeding I think I could handle it, but being up 2-3 times at night is going to wear me down quickly if I have to work on top of that. My Mom was trying to convince me to give him a little rice cereal, but everything I have read says it won't make a difference unless he has reflux (which I don't think he does). I am leaning toward a formula feeding before bed, to see if that makes any difference.
9 week picture in police onsie, just barely fitting. I think this will be the last one. For a look back on how much William has grown...

Do you go back the 1st or the 8th? Good luck with the formula experiment, I hope it works! Talk to you soon.
To look on the bright side of things, a lot can happen in 3 weeks. Three weeks is 30% of his entire life so far!! Hopefully soon he starts sleeping longer at night for you.
Erin, I think you should try formula and see how it goes. Then you will know for sure how much he is eating at a time and can keep track. We have a chart from similac that shows the avg. # of feeding/oz. I hope he turns the corner soon :) Did the pediatrician have any advice?
