Why does it always happen that I wake up at 3 am, lie awake in bed for an hour unable to fall asleep, figure out that my stomach is screaming, "HUNGER HUNGER HUNGER!" after about an hour, get a bowl of cereal at 4 am, and just as I'm finishing said B.O.C., le bebe awakes?
Rinse and repeat.
And repeat.
And repeat, ad infinitum.
Baby Dan, please wake up at 3 am next time.
I noticed when I had babies that I would wake up just before they did. It is a form of conditioning I think. If you could resist the temptation to get up and eat then body your rhythm would change. You do want him to sleep long and longer, don't you.
ReplyDeleteI don't choose to experience hunger pains every night at 3-4 am, and I don't control when my baby wakes up, either. It just happens. It is not possible to "resist the temptation" - anyway, temptation implies some terrible sin or something, which eating a b.o.c. at night most certainly is not. He will sleep longer when his body is ready, as will I. Probably you're just forgetting what it's like to exclusively breastfeed a baby.
ReplyDeletewow Kate, I recommend taking a deep breath before writing impulsive and rather rude responses to innocent blog comments.
