"When it comes to sleeping, whatever your baby does is normal. If one thing has damaged parents enjoyment of their babies, it's rigid expectations about how and when the baby should sleep." ~ James McKenna, Ph.D., Mother Baby Behavioral Sleep Center, University of Notre Dame

    I only had to wake her until she reached her birth weight.

    hi there!! congrats on Jack!! I haven't seen you since saif boards!! Jack is precious!

    Gavin had some issues gaining back his birth weight..jaundice didn't help :/

    Once he regained his birth weight, pedi said it was ok to feed on demand or let up on the every 2 hours thing, thankfully...that was ALOT of work waking him every 2 hours to eat. And much harder trying to keep him awake with the jaundice!!

    good luck!!! I am just so damn excited for you after seeing your journey!!! YAY!!!
