OK I confess I'm ANAL ZOMBIE MOMMY LOL :-) I go one step than a dry
diaper....I always weigh her naky :-) It irritates me that the docs no
longer do this with her weight issues and they get excited (some will
even weigh her with a wet diaper grrrrrrrr) over her weight gain when
the measurement is artificial. Nobody listens to me though.

I've been doing the same thing as well as when she sleeps. If it weren't
for that I would probably doubt myself on her sleep issues, but pedi
knows I've been doing this and since it's gotten this much worse she's
finally concerned about it, but needs to get the specialists as
concerned :-(

When Carissa was in the hospital the very first time @ 5 wks. I got into
the habit because of the nurses. When she was discharged I asked for a
copy of an I/O sheet and keeep making copies for myself to use. I've
adapted it according to my needs of course, and probably nobody would
understand it unless I explained it, but it works for me!
