What is the opposite of a growth spurt? Because Kate is in one of those right now.<\/p>\n
I was right in that my supply is down, but I think wrong as to the cause – it wasn’t my time away. Kate is just not eating much. Today I was kind of in the mindset of Have to have her nurse frequently to get my supply up!<\/i> It was so not happening. I’d offer her the breast and she’d suck twice then start playing and grinning. And when she is<\/i> hungry she’ll nurse for a while and empty my breast and then be totally happy. So obviously she has no problem with this.<\/p>\n
She is also not sleeping much. Today she had 2 naps. TWO. This is utterly bizarre for a baby who as late as last week was taking 5-6 naps a day. Right up until and during her last little cold she was only going typically an hour before needing to nap again, max hour and a half before melting down. She got healthy and bam she’s going 3 hour stretches. What the hell? When she gets cranky I would try putting her to sleep like usual but she nurses briefly and starts playing and babbling happily, clearly NOT tired.<\/p>\n
This could explain why she’s been fighting naps and not sleeping very long.<\/p>\n
At 10pm she was ready for bed, we cuddled for a little bit, she nursed and straight to sleep. And then, after she was sound asleep, I rolled over and scooted to the other side of the bed to cuddle with my husband and talk for a while just like we used to. I missed that. We still talk after we go to bed, but it’s typically with a large gap between us as I could never move away from Kate – or when I could roll away we couldn’t talk or we’d wake her. It was so nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
