Food.

Since I don't really agree with most of what the BVC nurse has said to us, I've decided to throw-out the "only give food 2-3 hours" thing.. And feed Leia as often as she wants. I think the crying is because she is hungry, because it started around the time that we switched her eating habits. So, if baby wants food, baby gets food.. :P Even if it is every hour. She is growing so fast, it is very cruel of us to deny it to her. And things have only gotten worse since the advice from the nurse, so no use in using that approach any longer.

We bought the swing! Have to get batteries for it, though.. :/
We bought the cheapest they had, for 900 kr (150$), they had one of those Fischer-Price rainforest ones for 1800 kr (300$), but that was a bit ridiculous with pricing.. :/ Fredrik wanted the one with the least "busy" stuff on it, he is a minimalist..... :/ :))

On the way home from Karlstad, Leia tried her hardest to get milk to come out of my finger.. :/ :)

We found some new pacifiers that are a little different than the others we have already tried. One with a round, small bulb on the end, but she didn't like that one at all. And another one that is just a more narrow version of ones we've already tried (with the slanted edge on the bottom), and that one she has taken a little. So, we'll keep trying with that one.

Everyone from the US keeps telling us that Leia needs more bulk food. And they keep suggesting "rice cereal." It is baby cereal that you put in formula or pumped breast milk (and can give to newborns), and it fills up their stomach better so they are less hungry. I don't think they sell anything like that here.. :/ But I have a feeling that that would work to make her less hungry.

Now Pappa is going to try Leia out in her chair, so this I wanna see!
