Jeremiah is getting past that newborn always sleepy stage and is waking better and sleeping better! Meaning… when he is awake he is alert and not so much as living in a fog. He opens his eyes all the way and for longer periods of time. This helps him to sleep better! Yes, he slept most of the time before, but he would stir and fuss often and need resettled.
Because he is more alert he latches on better making nursing more comfortable and he stays awake to nurse for a longer period of time (45 minutes to an hour) which stretches his feedings out. This may seem like a long time to some, but it is comfortable and better than every hour and a half or two with dreading every new latch!
The biggest blessing of all…
Last night I nursed him at 10, we slept till 2 when he nursed again, he woke at 4:30 and rocked back to sleep and we slept till 6.
This was only one night, but it’s a good sign of things coming as he becomes a pro at nursing! I think I get to have a good baby again!
Now it’s 7:00 and we are headed back to la la land!
