3/24: plan?
Wake up at 1130 230 430? Eat 4 mins? This is worse than day 1, I am over it.
I decided around 5:45am last night that I was done. I texted Eva & Kristen because my wonderful mommy girlfriends listen to my whining about sleep patterns and night weaning, I am so thankful for their help!
She eats solids three times a day, about 16 ounces of breast milk at Patsy's house [daycare] and nurses about 4 times before/after work.
This little chubber might love to eat and I will learn to adjust.
