Unconscious
Sometimes when Isaac latches on in the middle of the night, he's not fully awake.
Sometimes when he latches on in the middle of the night, I'm not fully awake.
I love that even while we are both unconscious, he can know that I'm there for him.




People ask how long my baby sleeps and I tell the truth. She closes her eyes at about 7:30 and doesn't open them until somewhere between 5:30 and 6:30.
ReplyDeleteShe sleeps draped across me and occasionally next to me and nurses freely all night. I know she's hungry when her arm flails and she squeaks, so I make sure she can latch on. I rarely open both eyes and I can count the two times in November that she opened her eyes at all during the night.
We both get wonderful, restful sleep, we get to bond all night long, I *know* she is happy and safe all night and I think all the good sleep and good nutrition contributes to both of us being in such good moods all the time.
