My memories of Mickey's Infancy

Mickey was a very content baby. However, there was one day when we had a BAD day. He was about 2 weeks old. Tim was at work and I was home with Mickey. He was a breast fed baby. Dr. Gray had instructed me to let him eat on demand. Well I think I over did it. I fed him every time he cried or whimpered. One day he was screaming in ovious pain. I could not find anything wrong with him. He would nurse for a few minutes then start crying uncontrollable. By lunch time I was a wreck and so was he. I called my mom crying. She came over and took Mickey and told me to go to bed. I did without hesitation. In a few minutes Mickey was asleep. I came out of the bedroom and momma had him with his knees under him on his tummy butt in the air sound asleep. She told me he was too full and problably had a gas bubble. She got him to burp and he went to sleep. I was relieved and realized just how much I had to learn about babies.

Mickey's favorite place was laying on Tim's chest. I kept a baby book of important events and milestones and I am glad I did because I can not remember any of those details. I kept a baby memory book of Mickey and when he and Sandy married I gave this book to them.
