Last night Elias didn’t wake up until around 7:30, so he spent a good 90 minutes or so conked out in his swing. I don’t think he was feeling very well though because he had problems falling asleep. I fed him at 11pm and he seemed tired, but when we got into bed he was wiggling all over the place and upset. He didn’t fall asleep until around 2am and that was with me holding his arms down gently so he wouldn’t wave them around and wake himself. He was awake almost nonstop from 7:30pm until 2am. He slept until about 7 this morning.
He seems back to his old self this morning, so hopefully whatever was bothering him last night is over with.
Poor boy has cradle cap and nothing really seems to be helping. We’ve tried putting oil on his head for 15 minutes, gently combing out the flakes and then washing his head, but it doesn’t help too much and it REALLY pisses him off. It’s hard for me to go to such great lengths to treat it when it’s a purely cosmetic problem. His forehead is dry too and no matter how many times a day I file his nails, they’re always as sharp as knives, so he keeps scratching his face as well. My poor little boy’s face looks less than wonderful and perfect. I don’t know how people have such perfect looking babies. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong, or he’s just a bit of a freak.
