Over Christmas a few people asked if Lucas slept through the night, my answer is usually that he wakes up a couple of times for a feed but goes straight back to sleep.
He does wake for feeds and he does go back to sleep straight away but because the feeds are only about 5 minutes a time and he hasn’t been unsettled, I have never bothered looking at the time or frequency.
This week I decided to note the time of the feeds to see how often our sleep is interrupted and it’s a lot more than I realised. From tonight I am going back to not checking, I think I settle back to sleep quicker not knowing the time and it isn’t doing either of us any harm waking so often.
It did irritate me the first night I noticed how often we wake but I would rather treasure these moments in the middle of the night, he isn’t going to be my baby for long so while he needs his Mummy, I am more than happy to oblige x
