Solid Food

So lately, Krista and I have been having some rough nights. Will had been sleeping through the night (about seven hour stretches) a few weeks ago, but for the last week or so he has been up at least every three hours. The lack of sleep has been incredibly difficult for Krista and something had to change.
Everything we read says that you should not start solid food until the four month mark. Will's four month date isn't until next Friday (the 18th) so Krista was a little hesitant to start it. After another really tough night she was all for it. I guess the solid food has more calories than just breast milk alone and he needs to eat less often. All that to say - we did it and he slept over seven hours once again. It was really entertaining and he actually seemed to really like the food.
The new food along with him taking a pacifier has made our time much more productive and him a much happier baby to live with. I'm looking forward to him starting to crawl but have settled for just seeing him roll around on the floor for now.
