Need Sleep

Good Lord, this is exhausting.

I'm single-finger typing because there's a fussy baby in my other arm. Three am feedings are quite a drag. Three am feedings when he doesn't fall back asleep are even more of a drag.

My son burps and farts like a pro. So very cute yet so very stinky.

They say babies sleep 16 hours a day. I don't believe them.

He's looking at me which means he's not sleeping which means I'm not sleeping.

Pumping breastmilk has pretty much gone out the window. When am I supposed to do it? When he's sleeping? Yeah right! I"d rather take a nap!

Why is it he can sleep in my arms but I put him down and he's wide awake?

I wish he wasn't so gassy. The little pain faces break your heart. Poor little guy.

This gets easier. Right?

It does get easier, I promise.

I put him down on a playmat next to me when I pump, and I talk to him or just let him play. It works well most of the time.

Have you tried mylicon drops for the gas? We even gave poor Sammy Mylanta before his feeds for a while. It seemed to help.
