Most New moms, or new again moms would kill for a night of uninterrupted sleep, envy those moms that have two months old sleeping through the night. Not I. I hate sleeping through the night.
Brian and I put our little terror down for bed at around 11 pm last night and woke up at 7 am to the terror crying in his crib. The sky was only partially lighted so I assumed that maybe it was 5 am. Checking my cell phone, I saw that it was 7 am. Not to mention, moving to find said cell phone pressed a cold shirt against my bare skin.
When my two month old son sleeps through the night, I typically have to change my bra, and shirt before I can even go retrieve said monster from his crib to feed him. Breastfeeding and Sleeping through the night do NOT go hand in hand. However, the monster does not have the same train of thought and therein lies the problem.
You could easily say "set an alarm to get up in 4 hours after he eats" but the problem is that one, we don't know *if* he'll sleep through the night, and if he doesn't, who's to say he won't get up sooner or later? And feeding him when he's not hungry doesn't work as he'll just make a mess of your bra and shirt, which means you'll have to change your clothing more than if you slept through the night.
So therefore, double duty nursing pads are a must. Oh and duct tape to hold them in place as I toss and turn throughout the night.
