re: OT Parents: Best Advice/Things You Wish You Had Known

My son was on the bigger side at almost 9 lbs when he was born. Eating and sleeping were huge obstacles. Breast feeding was difficult since he would literally eat constantly if you let him. We switched to pumping and supplementing with formula after a little while. Then we tried rice powder, and oatmeal, etc.. Every time we got to a point where people said, "he's going to start falling a sleep a lot easier when he starts eating this or that", it never happened. Even still at his daycare, they comment that he is a bottomless pit. He knows the sign language for more and how to yell no now. So when you pull him out of a high chair, he screams no and signs for more . I think it helps with most kids, just maybe not all.
