Roman's ear tube surgery was today. Mamí thought it was going to be really difficult getting Roman to fast from midnight to the next day. His surgery was scheduled for 7 am today. The nurse that handled the phone check in, let Mamí know that Roman could have formula up until midnight. So maybe stayed up to feed Roman his last bottle at 11:45 pm. She didn't mind because it reminded her of how she used to give Roman a dream feed at around 10:30 pm. the baby whisperer book had a suggestion that if you cluster feed (every two hours) your baby ( not before 6 weeks) before bedtime (ie.. 6 pm & 8 pm) , and then nursed or bottle fed him at 10:30pm while asleep. This would help keep baby from waking up hungry until five to six hours later. may not seem much, but Roman was feeding 2 or 3 times a night from birth to 3 months old.
It was such a peaceful time to just stare at Roman while he nursed and slept in Mamí's arms. We stopped dream feeds when Roman was about 5 months. He was able to get all his nutrition needs during the day.
Anyway, Roman did very well today. His surgeon said he came to an cried a little but when we saw him in the recovery room he seemed just a little grumpy. After a nursing session, he was back to his old self! These pictures were of him later today after his surgery. A little tylenol makes him happy!
