Sportin' an IJ cap
Being a little ham!
I dare say anything and jinx myself...but I think there is something to the "magical" 6 week mark for newborns and sleep. This week my little cookie has started a pattern of his nightly schedule. He usually naps on and off all day long w/ some periods of alertness. Then starting between 4 & 5pm he wakes and nurses and then pretty much wants to be part of the scene and either held or right near the action until I put him down for the night. Miles nurses again between 6 & 6:30pm, most nights I give him a bath, & then he's been fighting sleep until about 8pm when he crashes.
From there he's been sleeping a good 4-5 hour stretch, nurses, then sleeps another 3-4 hour stretch and after that he usually wakes to eat around 5am, again around 6:30am and then sleeps until about 9am. Hopefully we are on a good trend to sleeping better.
I've also noticed that his digestive system has changed as he's not quite as gassy at night and doesn't poo poo much during the night. When he is gassy...it's because he needs to be burped more, rather than tootie. (like all this adult poo poo and tootie talk?!)
Well, somehow I got both the boys to nap at the same time today...so I should probably take advantage of this and take a nap myself. Typically Max goes down for his nap and then Miles wakes and is ready to be fed and entertained and by the time he goes back down for a nap...Max is waking up. I swear the 2 of these little guys are tag teaming on me! :) But, I'm thankful they are here to do this!
