Day 5--Bad, bad, bad

Yesterday was another bad day, with much in the way of a grumpy baby who wouldn't sleep.  But I think I've figured it out.  He's stopped nursing.  He'll eat for a few minutes and then start goofing off, even though there's plenty of milk still in there.  He'll take a bottle, though.  So I think he's done nursing.  Whatevs.  Yesterday was so awful and he only slept in 1/2 hour increments that I'm totally at peace with weaning him if it means he's got a full tummy.
He woke up 2 times in the middle of the night, at 2 and 5, and then wouldn't go back to sleep, so in our bed he went.  I guess we've taken some steps backward and need to start again.  Persistence is the key, right??
This morning I dropped his 7 a.m. feeding and gave him a bottle.  At 8:30, after 20 minutes of fighting, he went down and slept until 10:15.  Whew.  I'm just glad D is here this weekend to help out.  I guess I won't try to sell Baby on Ebay, after all.  *wink wink*
