Dr New was away for the weekend so I haven’t come up with much so far.

Ben was very quite yesterday.  I wasn’t even able to spoon feed him any cereal because he acted like he doesn’t even know what food is all about.  He was sleepy and cuddled in my arms like a newborn.

Today on the other hand he was happy and gay, and very much part of the family.  He crawled (or rather creped) around the room and was more than willing to share a slice of cake with me.  (That’s one thing I’ve learned at least, he likes cake :)  

That’s basically what’s getting me so confused and makes me feel unsure about the whole thing.  One day he behaves so terribly and it feels like an emergency to call the endo right away.  And the next day he is sweet and I start forgetting about everything and regret my decision to create a turmoil.

Another thing I have realized is that the biggest part of it is that his muscle tones sound weak.  Besides for him being too quite he doesn’t have the strength (or will) to sit by himself, kneel, try to pull himself up or do anything normal babies his age are expected to do.  He lies flat like a pancake most of the time.  He wasn’t that way when he was younger at all.  He was very active the first five month and he has only fallen behind ever since.  He stopped doing many of the things he was already doing then.

I still can’t figure out if it’s possible that it should have anything to do with him being on a lower dose than before or the problem must lie in something else completely.
