ALL NIGHT LONG

People are not totally truthful when they say "My baby slept all night at .... weeks." That is kind of impossible for a breastfeeding mom whose "milk man" still thinks that they baby eats every 2 to 4 hours. Last night we fed Hannah (I say we because Stu fed her a bottle and then I breastfed until she acted full) at 11:30. We all went to sleep at 12:00. Hannah was really wide eyed and didn't go right to sleep when I put her down, but she didn't fuss or make noises either. Around 6:00 I woke up because the "milk man" had probably visited me more than once (any breastfeeding mother knows what I am talking about). Hannah was still asleep! I had to look really closely to make sure she was alive. I was so excited, she had slept for over 6 hours!!! That is what they mean by a full night! We don't know what we did that made her sleep so long and we don't know if this will become a pattern (I sure hope so!). Yesterday at the doctor, he told me that she should feed every 2-3 hours during the day and 4 - 6 during the night. I hope she likes sleep as much as her mommy and will continue with 6! I loved it!
