A smile is a smile. It's an old wives tale that smiles are wind in newborns. No adult or baby smiles because of wind. I wondered at first about Ci smiling in his first week, and I've since realised that yes, it is smiling because he still does it and now laughs also. I can coax a laugh or smile out of him now too, by going "woogie woogie woogie" and wobbling his top lip.He thinks thats hilarious.
I think his screaming fits are overtired and can't sleep. Can't sleep cos he likes to be on the boob to sleep and he keeps getting milk or worse - a let down which is too forceful for sleepy sucks. So he pulls off screaming, tries again, repeat. Now I just stop the feed and bounce on the fitball with him until he nods off. I hope that's all it is so I can continue with this routine. Screaming fits suck.




He thinks thats hilarious.
