I'm not completely convinced that this med is helping Nathan's ears.  He isn't screaming and grabbing his ears but that could be because we've given him a few doses of Motrin.  My theory is that the Motrin reduces the inflammation for 2-3 days at a time.  The thing is, I don't feel like Nathan is eating all that well.  He is still just nursing other than the occasional Cheerio and that is fine.  But he isn't gulping/swallowing as much and his diapers aren't as wet.  I was getting all worried that my milk supply had taken a nose dive but now I'm thinking it's more Nathan.  Ugh.  I'm glad we have a follow up appt. to recheck his ears this time.

We've had a few nights where Nathan has woken up before midnight and gotten himself really upset.  On nights like that, I will go nurse him, esp. considering his less than stellar eating.  I am preparing myself to keep nursing him at night past 12 months.  I just get the feeling that he won't be ready for me to night wean him by then.  I would like to see him eating some solids and completely over his ear troubles first.
