Milo has a very VERY powerful pee stream. The kid pees out his diaper EVERY night, EVERY time I put a new diaper on...so 3-4 times a night I'm changing not only his diaper ofcoarse, but his clothes and blankets, and wiping down his back and sides with wipes..I am quite positive he would sleep longer if he weren't so uncomfortable and laying in wet pee.. So seriously..we need to get creative...let me list you off the things I have already tried and that have failed so you don't have to waste time giving me advice that I've already done..Hopefully some of you mamas have more tricks up your sleeve to help me out!
WE HAVE TRIED-
-pampers baby dry
-pampers swaddlers (premie, newborn and up to 14 pounds)
-huggies size -nb and size 1 (which won for a while, but his weenie learned how to defeat those as well)
-maxi-pads inside his diaper(to add better absorption?)
- i wrapped a huge hospital pad around his waist (because, yes..they are that big.) in hopes that whatever comes out the back or sides will just be caught by the next pad, and atleast keep his clothes dry..but, I guess he shimmied his way out of that, because when I came in to feed him, he was all wet again and the pad was at his feet. lovely.
-I've tried making his diapers tighter, and looser..
seriously..none of this is even making a dent. I guess my next option is to just stay awake with him sitting up until he pees..but that could take another hour and I already have to force myself back to sleep! I could handle this while I wasn't working, but now that I'm working a later shift, I need atleast more than 3-4 hours of sleep..I dont even mind if it's broken up! He was sleeping so wonderfully the first couple weeks..we got like 8-9 hours of sleep (broken up ofcoarse) but still! AHH help us with our pee pee problem!

1 month
Milo-isms...
-(as of the last checkup) he gained 1 pound and is in 50th percentile.
-he's a really easy baby for the most part. He doesn't really "cry" so much as whines and fidgets when he is hungry or gassy.
-he can REALLY destroy a diaper..(and yes Aaron..I like the smell.)
-he's always tootin'
-he's SO close to smiling...he gives us a quick one here and there, but you can tell he wants to do it more, just can't get the
hang of how to yet..but when we DO get one, it's mighty cute!
-he really doesn't like formula...and we've tried ALOT of different kinds including lactose free and soy..he ALWAYS spits it up with out fail.
-When I breast feed him, he goes limp noodle on me and passes out for the night. EVERY time. No matter how hard I try to wake him up to feed him more, he just says NO.. (which makes it very hard and frustrating when I KNOW he didn't get enough to eat, and he'll wake up in an hour screaming for more.)
-he's a pretty good sleeper for the most part..I don't mind waking up once or twice in the night to feed him..I DO, however, mind that I have insomnia, and once I'm up...I'm up and can't go back to sleep half the time. Gah!!
-he's definitely a cuddler. Which I LOVE!
-he sleeps in his own crib, in his own room, and has been since we brought him home from the hospital! Good boy!
-he LOVES to be talked to, and if you're really lucky, he'll go cross-eyed for a minute for you while trying to focus. It's hilarious.
-he is ALL about his car seat..as soon as I put him in it to go in the car, or even just carrying it around, he goes right to sleep.
-Baby (our dog) LOVES him..He is so protective of him and gives him tons of kisses...Beto on the other hand, won't even come near him.
-he hates his arms being swaddled..he ALWAYS fishes them out of the blanket so he can hold his face.
-as you may have seen in a previous post..he love love LOVES the piano! It calms him right down and he just sits with his eyes open and listens.
We love our little guy! Happy one month Milo mylove!

Seriously. Everyone needs one. It's legit. NO phone compares. I am soo glad I actually have service at my house now! When we had verizon, I had to walk around the house to find just enough service to even get a text out. So we switched to at&t and have almost full service at home! yahooo!
...and just because.. here's a couple of jr. ..

Milo MyLove
Just some more pics of our handsome boy...

Sleepy boy (LOVE the pouty lips)
I leave him all wrapped up and swaddled, and this is what I find when I come to check on him..
Chels came over and we played with our cameras...(Chel's pics are much better than mine of coarse) but I took some for fun anyhow. Can't ever get too many pics of him!
I think he looks like a lil' elf here. lol
He's getting sooo close to smiles! I can't wait!
Here is a funny little video (sorry its sideways) I love his "pooping" noise and face. Concentrating so hard on pushin' that out!(please ignore my annoying voice)
and here are a couple from Chelsea ...
