Maxim eats about every three hours. Sometimes two and a half. If he starts demanding food after only two hours since last feeding, than either Olga or I start playing with him, trying to win some time. And usually it works. Anything from half an hour to an hour is possible to achieve.<\/p>\n
Today Maxim started crying for food two hours after his morning feeding. Olga was sleeping, so I picked him up and started singing to him. It didn’t work. I walked around the flat with him. Nope. I told him a short fairy tale. Nu-uh.<\/p>\n
I was trying everything for about half an hour. Olga woke up. We decided to feed the guy anyway. Olga took him and started feeding and I took the baby chart to fill in some blanks. After focusing on for five seconds I realized that Maxim was right. He slept for three hours, not two. We just confused the time.<\/p>\n
The point of the story: you can’t trick one hungry baby with no charts of yours. He has his own clocks and expects everyone else to synchronize with those. He doesn’t give a damn about day time saving, timezones, atomic clock, ntp and whatever else there is about time.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
