let the crying begin

Soooooooo, we finally let Landon cry himself to sleep last night. I say "let" like it was a treat for him. It took 45 minutes of him crying, pulling on his bumpers, rolling around his crib to fall asleep. (we did go in like 3,4 times to console him/say i love you) He slept until 1:30,ate, then slept until 5 then 8, then swim class....so all in all, that was a really good night...no gas fits either..I just put him down for the night and he actually was so tired that when i put him down he just fell asleep....lucky i am...i'm sure it wont be like tomorrow.

I think he might have some sort of food allergy/intolerance. Anyone have issues w/ that??? He's still breastfeed but we had started him on solids at 4 months...starting slow w/ rice cereal then oatmeal and veggies and fruits...all was good for like a month but a few weeks back i noticed a bit of a rash on his back. It hadn't seemed to bother him, and it wasnt raised bumps, just small red spots...well it came and went and i thought maybe it was from clothes or sweating and sitting in the heat in his carseat...well i started watching more what he ate and what happend w/ the rash and of course i started researching (damn this computer). It seems he has some mild symptoms-rash and like 2 or 3 areas that might be eczema?? So I dont know. I'm breastfeeding him only until all rash goes away. He has his 6m appt next wednesday so i'll talk to his Peds and possibly get a referal to an allergist if need be. I guess we'll start the food routine all over and i'll keep a log or something. That's about it.....
