Reversing

Mina loves the boob. No big surprise there.

But I am surprised at how she is bending her schedule around the times she can have boob.

She is "reversing." She goes on strike with Daddy and Meme, and does not eat (though Meme can get her to eat solid foods!). When I get home Mina does not completely attach to the boob, but does cluster feed like she did when she was 6 weeks old. Then she sleeps from 8:00 or so until 1:00, eats- goes back to sleep until 4:00, eats- goes back to sleep until 6:30 or 7:00, eats and then goes back to sleep or gets up for the day depending on her mood.

I honestly do not mind feeding her in the night right now. She sleeps in a bed next to ours right now and I can simply roll her in, feed her, and roll her right back into her bed. However, I have promised myself that I will move her at 6 months (sniff)and I am not looking forward to getting up 3 times a night.

Maybe in the next month there will be a miracle and Damon will get a raise large enough so I can stay home with her on a more full-time basis...
