I appreciate the binky advice, but since I already took it away and he doesn't really seem to want it anymore, I'd rather not go through the willful toddler age of taking away a binky lol. I also heard it could impare speach and have seen that happen with a friend's child. She's about two and hardly talks at all cause she wont take the binky out of her mouth. And since I took that away, waking up for no reason isn't a problem anymore (I do believe he's working on those teeth though). He eats every four hours-ish during the day, and he wakes up right on time after four hours for bottles at night. So I don't think the binky would matter too much anymore...
Before bed, I usually put him in the bath with the Johnson's bedtime stuff, and then I'll give him a bottle and rock him a little (but not all the way to sleep, just sleepy) and then I give him kisses and lay him down. I was thinking about trying to feed him cereal right before bed lately though, but he does eat cereal and baby food during the day. He cries for maybe ten minutes and then he's asleep for the night except for when it's normally (during the day) time to eat.
Trina - I think it's different when you're breastfeeding... (if that's what you meant by nursing). I think it would be a different story for me at least if he were at that age with formula and food and that. But who knows, I'll find out. I know it varies from baby to baby.
