Carter hasn't been throwing up as much lately during the day. Holding him upright for half an hour after feeding seems to make a big difference. The times that I don't do this, Carter tends to throw up more. We're working on figuring out the best way for him to sleep at night because he doesn't seem to like it when his bassinet is tilted up on one side. And he's still throwing up a lot during the night.
It used to take a little while to get Carter settled after feeding him during the night, but then he'd sleep until I woke him up for the next feeding. Recently he's wanting to be fed every two hours (or sooner). Carter still takes a long time to settle after feeding and then is half awake making lots of noise and moving around most of the time that he is "sleeping". I'm getting better at sleeping through some of this though so I can get some rest.
I can't wait until we get on more of a schedule. From everything we've read and been told by our pediatrician, schedules don't really work until around 2 months. But I think we're going to try to go ahead and start Carter on one as much as we can. I'll still feed him "on demand" and not force things too much, but we'll see what we can do.
The weather was really nice here today - in the 60s! It's generally been really cold since Carter was born and the days that aren't so bad have been rainy. So I took Carter and Charlotte for a mile walk today. It was super windy and Charlotte was drafting behind me part of the way!
Here are a couple of pictures I took of the little man that did not make our Christmas card ...
