    @googly-eyes: well I had a semi fail last night. I solo parenting too and I do think that depleting more on top of being sick as a dog.

    We are both still sick sick and he was up crying for two hours last night. I gave him a couple p short feeds because I was worried all the crying might dehydrate him. I put him down awake and h just cried and cried. Finally he fell asleep but he woke up several more times and cried for longer periods. At 5am I nursed him down finally and He just woke up again and I put on yo Gabba Gabba. I hope tonight goes better. Gonna try to rest up as much as I can during the day.

    Poor baby, I hope you both feel better ASAP!

    One thing, when we were talking about getting E to sleep more at night (he didn't really STTN until after he was a year old) his pedi suggested offering a bit of water instead of nursing if he woke up. Mayhaps that's something you could try tonight if you're still worried about him dehydrating? Just a thought!

    You're doing great!

    @lovehoneybee: thanks. I offer him water but he throws the bottle at me in anger. He is very smart and very feisty. I'll keep trying but so far all he will take at night is nursing or nothing.

    Last night was harder than it had been but easier than the previous night and I held strong to the 11-6 timeline this time. I did give him another special early bath feed in addition to his ore bedtime and morning feeds since he hasn't been eating much.

    I hope things start to improve again when we are better. I feel like the sick and molars breaking through really messed us up.
