My sttn 6 month old started getting up once a night to eat the past couple weeks. And he seems hungry I think too. Hoping it passes soon!!

@LovelyPlum: We are going very slowly. He has mostly had rice cereal and sweet potatoes. I was very hesitant to give him anything but he showed a lot of ready signs. I'm still nervous, but it's going ok.

I am still doing some amount of finger foods because sir baby hates to be spoon fed. We are sticking with single fruits/single veggies for now.

When we first started sweet potatoes, he was waking up a few hours into the night with some gas, which he hasn't done in ages. That seems better now though, so I think he is adjusting. It took him a couple of weeks.

Unrelated, but he still is barfing a TON. I can't even call it spit up. I follow him around with a cloth diaper because he spews little puddles on the floor constantly. It's so gross and I cannot wait for him to grow out of it. My current theory is that it has more to do with motor skills. He is most likely to barf while scooting around or sitting up. I am thinking there is increased & different pressure on his belly. He also barfs more when he is excited (or tired) and both of these new tricks get him all jazzed.

But try not to give yourself a hard time about it. Easier said than done, I know, but babies are such a mystery.
