You are overall a very happy, calm baby but when you are hungry..you are HUNGRY! You absolutely lose it and scream bloody murder until that bottle is in your mouth. You typically eat every 3 hours but sometimes when you are sleeping you'll go longer so its hard to always have it warmed and ready for you and you do not like to wait the 4 mins for it warm up. You scream and scream and nothing soothes you..you'll spit out your paci and turn beat red. Its very hard to stay calm and listen to you scream.
When we stop to burp you (half way through bottle) you'll also sometimes just scream and refuse to burp. This can be very embarrassing out in public because people are prob wondering why you are screaming so hard/loud. You must just be one hungry growing boy.(chunky monkey) We are by no means underfeeding you...prob overfeeding to some extent. We've now switched over to the bigger bottles, and the slow flow size 2 nipple. You also typically drinking between 5-6 oz every 3 hours or so. According to the doc you should drink about 1oz per hour..if we fed you only 3 ounces you would go ballistic. You don't spit up very much so this must be the right amount for you. You have had no trouble gaining weight either..you had almost doubled your birth weight at your 2 month apt.
Your new routine is to wake up once during the night around 2-3am wanting to eat and during this time it is even worse to listen to you scream..you work yourself up so much that I think it causes you to eat to fast and then you'll spit up more. Last night I had a bottle ready for you to go on my nightstand to try and give it to you right away..this worked good but then you fell asleep and we didn't want to wake you to change your diaper and then this morning I woke up to a soaked through onesie/sleep sack and wet sheets. EEK! Well have to get this figured out haha!
