I made the mistake of pumping right before you woke up ravenously hungry and for the first time ever, you didn't get the milk you expected. You went ballistic and became completely unhinged for over 5 hours! It didn't help that we didn't know how to soothe you and probably made it worse by over-stimulating you in our fumbled attempts to calm you down.
It was easily the worst episode with you ever.
Thankfully Peggy was there to coach your mom through it and to provide much needed moral support and advice. And to prevent your mom from jumping off a very high ledge.
Here's a picture of happier times, before you had the strength to stay awake for more than an hour at a time.
On the upside, your long tantrum left you exhausted and you slept like an angel all night long and into the afternoon! And you seemed to agree with our one bottle substitution without losing your great latch--dare I hope for more sleep in the future?
