Raghav has started grabbing things that he can hold on to. When he's feeding, earlier he used to just move his fingers about, opening and closing his tiny fist, now he wraps his little fingers around my sleeve or any cloth that he can hold. When he's in Nalin's lap he either holds his shirt neck from the front of just grabs his chest hair and clings to them. When he's on his changing table he grabs hold of the cloth that he's lying on and doesn't know how to let go.
Raghav has already started sleeping through the night. He skips one feed at 3-4am and only wakes up at about 6.30-7am. He's also completely no-fuss about drinking milk from a bottle. The first time I fed him milk from the bottle he was really sick and had stopped taking my feed. When he hadn'd fed much all day I decided to give him formula around 4am. He gave me such a startled look as if to say, "My mom is here but the food is coming out of a bottle...??" but then started drinking.
He has started pooping much less than he used to. Earlier he was pooping almost every time he fed, but after the 6-week mark it has become much less, but that usually means a greatly increased quantity. He starts fussing around before he has to go and then sometimes starts crying after he has done it probably because it almost always escapes the diaper and spreads all over his back.
Poor thing, he did it once when we were at a mall. We had just changed him because the diaper had leaked and his clothes were wet. I was carrying only one set of extra clothes and one extra diaper, so we had nothing to change him into when he did his big poop. The mall was closed by then and we couldn't even buy anything. So the poor fellow had to remain like that till we reached home. But he didn't seem to mind and slept through the tram ride.
