What I meant was that she can sometimes go up to four hours before she starts acting hungry. Generally, though, I try to offer the breast before she reaches that point. Amusingly enough, after I posted this, she's started acting hungry between every two to three hours. I do believe she's hitting another growth spurt! But yes, in general, she's a very happy baby. She has good skintone and the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen in a baby. Mmm, I'd say she has anywhere from eight to ten wet diapers in a day, but sometimes she can go as long as five days between dirty ones.... which her doctor has assured us is perfectly normal in nursing babies. Is that right, or should I be concerned? Her stools are generally mustard-y looking, and not like pellets, which I know would be a cause for concern, but the only oddity is the fact that she doesn't go every day, anymore.
Haha, that's a very good point about the car keys! Don't worry, she won't be getting a crack at either vehicle until she's much older... LOL! Anyway, I just wasn't completely sure about the solids. I think the handout the doctor gave us confused me with its blurb about the cereals. She's not sitting up completely on her own yet, so I think what I'll do is wait until she can do that, at least. She's due for a six month checkup as well, so if the doctor mentions it then, I'll see what he has to say, but other than that, I'll hold off on anything dramatic! Thanks for the comments, guys! I've been following this forum for a while, but this is really the first time I'd posted anything.
