Owen’s sleep has been so good this week, I started trying to night wean again. This time, the second half of the night. I have to nurse him when he wakes up at 1:30, but he seems OK with skipping all the other feedings. Well, not quite OK, but he doesn’t put up too much of a fight and it’s only been a few days. I think Pooh has been helping too. He seems quite comforted by his fluffy friend. Finally.<\/p>\n
Speaking of milk, I had a little milk production issue yesterday which led to some hilarity. I had a bleb (when skin overgrows a milk duct opening) which led to a horribly clogged milk duct. I had taken a needle to the bleb, but had trouble unclogging it. I tried again in the afternoon because I was so uncomfortable and milk started squirting everywhere like a fountain! I quickly ran over to Owen as to not waste this liquid gold and ended up covering us both in milk and freaking him out so much he wouldn’t nurse the rest of the day! I’ll keep that in mind when I’m trying to wean :D<\/p>\n
Owen also started building\u00a0some cool\u00a0creations with his duplos and megablocks, not just putting them together. He built himself a walker and several pretty nice trucks. My little engineer :D<\/p>\n
I’ve been reading It’s OK Not to Share<\/a>\u00a0and it’s made me real excited to get some play dates going. It’s mostly\u00a0about using conflict to learn mediation skills and social behavior rather than avoiding it.\u00a0I also like their suggestions for dealing with tantrums. Very similar to Janet Landbury<\/a>\u00a0and How to Talk<\/a>, but it’s good to drill this stuff into my head now before I need it :D<\/p>\n
