Confused

So little Nemo has decided that sleep is uninteresting and that waking up frequently at odd hours is a much more exciting to spend his time. Cue very sleepy zombie parents. This is pretty usual for parents of a 5 month old however Nemo had lured us into a false sense of security by sleeping through the night from 5 weeks old. This has been going on for about 8 weeks now, and the search for some answer which was meant asking health professionals, other parents, and reading information on infant sleep has left me more and more confused! I recently read a post which summaries my feelings perfectly:

I feel like we have tried almost everything but have learnt that we're just going to have to find our own answer through instinct/ trial and error. Nemo is insanely cute which means you just can't feel anything but fortunate to have him, however sleep deprived you are! (I'm sure this is a survival skill of babies!) 

I have really enjoyed trying out Nemo with different purées and especially enjoyed the rather interesting faces he pulls, so far he has tried: sweet potato, carrot, butternut squash, pear and apple. The vegatables have gone down well, whereas the fruits have been outrightly refused on most occasions! My best achievement has been filling all 3 levels on my steamer in different veggies/ fruits and making 20 portions for Nemo in an evening:




Since my last post on this Nemo was taken off his inhaler by one doctor and put back on one  by another doctor (although this time he got a much less scarey one!) 

It even has a bear on it and is much easier fit on his face! Nemo's chest is finely getting clearer (yay!) but as he was described by the last doctor Nemo is a 'happy wheezer' and he has continued to be is usual fun self. 

And just because I couldn't leave without putting a cute picture of Nemo on here he is causing mischief and pulling down his baby gym!
