It'll be easier when the family leaves and I don't feel like I have to "entertain" (or at least be somewhat present) during the day, and I can nap. <br /><br />I have started trying to watch TV online or read magazines during nighttime feeding/pumping sessions. being more alert helps me get more milk, and feel less miserable.anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320182732889825712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160307985142358103.post-11112585018216170762010-01-14T15:38:47.606-08:002010-01-14T15:38:47.606-08:00Long time reader, first time commenter!

Don't forget to follow the same rules for yourself!the mind behindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06085198168070217513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160307985142358103.post-74503287576155059972010-01-14T12:13:30.921-08:002010-01-14T12:13:30.921-08:00Dont worry, it gets better :) They learn their ni...Dont worry, it gets better :) They learn their nights/days and go to bed when you do at some point. We usually get them to bed between 10pm and 11pm and wake up between 6am-7am. The Chicklette will get there!

I thought maybe I could trick myself into forgetting it was 4am. It gets better around 5 or 6 weeks. They usually start sleeping in 4-6 hour consecutive stretches at night at that point. That's what one of my books told me and, so far, Camden's been right on that schedule (knock on wood). It's the broken sleep that's so tough. Hang in there!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059564320945844977noreply@blogger.com
