So we had Evelyn’s doctor’s appointment today and the doctor was most concerned about Evelyn’s resistance to eating solid food, particularly that she isn’t getting enough protein and iron.

So two nights ago Evelyn finally learned how to roll over wearing her sleep sac AND wedged between the foam blocks. I heard a strange sound in the middle of the night and eventually woke up enough to realise it was the sound of something pushing the toys that hang from the side of her » Read More

So Evelyn went from “Oh my Gosh don’t put that horrible thing near my face!” to “Oh, ok” with respect to bottles within a week. Seriously. I used all the tricks I described in the post below. Once she would let the nipple in her mouth she didn’t know what to do with it and » Read More
