Naps are mostly back to normal. Well, in some ways. She’ll sleep on me, but she fidgets a lot. Today I took one nap with her on our bed, a few naps holding her in the rocker, and one I laid down with her on the futon so she’d sleep and I could sort-of watch TV (got a sore neck from that one – it’s not an easy angle). Unfortunately no matter what I do she’s only sleeping for max an hour. This is not typical of her and it creates a rather fussy, whiny baby that needs to be put back to bed within an hour. I’m guessing it’s just one of those phases, a growth spurt or something. I look forward to “normal” naps in a few days.<\/p>\n
Breastfeeding is also a little bit weird recently. The last couple of days she didn’t want to nurse while I sat up. Even when she was obviously hungry, every time I’d put her in cradle hold she’d latch-unlatch and cry instead of eating. I know she eats slower (and thus gets less gas) when laying down, but she normally doesn’t fight nursing like that. All day Saturday I just ended up laying down on the bed to nurse her every time. No clue what that was about, but today she’s not having an issue either way. I figure it must be linked to the strange sleeping habits.<\/p>\n
Tonight I didn’t want to go to bed at 8pm, so I put her in the mei tai and walked her until she fell asleep (not long), then was able to sit at my computer for a couple of hours. I can’t do that for her naps, but she sleeps deeper at night. It was almost like having time to myself!<\/p>\n
I’m also learning to eat at the kitchen counter. Life is just easier when you go with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
