It is almost a given that something we do 3-6 hours a day influences our mood. So, the mood in our house somewhat revolves around how well Matthew is eating. We journal Matthew’s feeds: time, amount, minutes, notes and our rating (from 1- horrible, didn’t finish to 10- fantastic, perfect feed). The mood is bleak when the daily average is below 5, more upbeat when the average is above 5.
Tuesday and Wednesday were bleak with no feedings rating above 6. Thursday and today have been …mostly great. He’s gotten a 1 (horrible feed) both yesterday and today, but all the other feeds have been 8, 9 or 10 (fantastic feeds). Some of these feeds are the best he’s ever fed! Whether it’s the Zantac, or the fact I’ve gotten off dairy, or the new bottle we’re trying…it doesn’t matter, we are just thrilled he’s eating and not freaking out!
What a fantastic way to move into the weekend. I'm looking forward to this weekend, as we’ll celebrate “Mommy’s Day”, which is the Hoy House ‘Mother’s Day Observed’, the day that the family does whatever Mommy wants with what I hope will be a smile. Hopefully that includes continued good eating for Matthew! Happy Friday to all!
