Due to another issue with Brennan's sensitive skin, we made a trip the pediatrician yesterday afternoon. Over the last few days, his skin was very red in his creases (behind his knees, in his elbows, in his cute leg rolls, etc). Then, his entire body was very dry and attempts to moisturize with lotion appeared to be very painful. The doctor explained that Brennan has a minor case of staph infection related to his eczema and was prescribed an antibiotic. In just one day, his skin appears to be getting better. Although, the eczema on his cheeks returned very quickly during our break from his prescription cream. Poor little guy!
While at the doctor, Brennan was weighed. He's a whopping 18lbs 3oz!
Over the weekend, we started having Brennan put himself to sleep at night. Since then, the duration of his cries and whimpers have decreased slightly. The first night he cried for 27 minutes. Tonight, night 4, he fell asleep after approximately 15 minutes. He's woken up overnight each night, but after eating he is typically able to go back to sleep rather easily independently. We'll work on more consistent naps when I'm off of work for the summer.
