We (by we I mean me and Merrick) spent the weekend learning to nurse again. See, he had forgotten. We bought new kind of dummies on Thursday and he loved them so much, he totally forgot how to suck on the nipple. Poor little peanut. Poor little mama. I felt so helpless. But we prevailed. Every thing's now back to normal-ish, and he got his old kind of pacifier back too. Because he needs to suck so much he hurts himself with his tummy so full!
So now we reset the routine. He told me he's big enough to space his feeding to at least 3h. But there's still no difference between night and day for the 2 of us. I'm very thankful Mariann's a late sleeper (sometimes up to 9am!) and Papa is always available for their father/daughter breakfast.
Exhausted, yes! Me too! Those pacifiers can be tricky balancing out. Glad you are so strong willed and patient.
