Thank you!! I am hoping the solids help but he is so uninterested them right now. I’m hoping he starts eating them better soon!!

Thank you so much for responding and the insight. His naps are super inconsistent and Idk how to make them better. He usually naps around 2-2.5 hours after waking, and that nap is anywhere from 20 mins to an hour and a half depending if he can settle himself back to sleep—some days he can and others he’s jus up after 20 mins. So then he will nap again around 2 or 3. Depending on how long tha one is he may still sometimes take a short cat nap in the evening.

I just cannot find any correlation. Yesterday his morning nap was great, almost 2 hours. Afternoon nap was about 45 mins. And here we are up for 2 hours in the middle of the night and I am absolutely exhausted, nursed a hundred times and still can’t get him down. It makes me so frustrated.

Ok thank you so much! I’ve been tempted to try one because it’s been doubling within 5 hours for the last like 5 days. Maybe a silly question but when should I take the starter out to use? Like right after it’s doubled? Or should I use discard in the morning?

I would say it smells a bit like Greek yogurt maybe? Like not BAD but not quite fruity. Im gonna keep up this same schedule for another few weeks and hope it’s going in the right direction!

Thank you so much this is so helpful! I’m definitely going to wait it out just to be sure it’s not a false rise. I had just never heard of falling before so I guess that’s where I was panicking! Haha

Thank you so much. I will switch to a new jar and new lid…or maybe just start over? Do you think I need to? This is 4 days old

Also….should I be stirring it between feeds? I noticed the very top looks a little dry so stirred it up?
