Mourning the Missing Hour
I can’t complain. My two-month-old is going up to seven hours at a stretch now at night. My only trouble is that he starts his stretch at eight PM and then sees no problen hanging out for an hour when he does wake up. This is a new annoying habit. (The habit is annoying, not the baby – he’s adorable!)
I know my company is simply to die for, but I’m doing everything I can to remind him that he is supposed to go right back to sleep after a quick meal. So far he’s having a memory lapse.
To help him remember faster, I’m:
- Keeping the lights out
- Changing his diaper silently and swiftly
- Staying completely silent and avoiding eye contact
- Making my motions efficient yet loving
