the difference between DH and myself

MEGS000

when it comes to worrying.  Yesterday was a rough day with DS.  He cried all day except when being held and wanted to nurse at least every hour, but it was more of a comfort thing, because he wouldn't stay latched on.  I have been pumping but just to build a stash so far, but around midnight last night I ended up finger feeding him 2 oz.  He passed right out afterwards and so did DH and I.  I woke up at 545 to DS still sleeping, woke up DH saying I was worried that he had slept so long and thought I should wake him up....DH's response: "Is he breathing?"  I said yes, and DH rolled over saying he's fine and to go back to bed. 

DS woke up at 6, nursed for 15 minutes, and then fell back asleep until 9 when he nursed another 15 and now is back asleep again.  I feel so rested today!  I guess he was maybe exhausted from his day of screaming and no sleep also.

That, and I think there is a 2 week growth spurt, if I remember correctly.  I hope today is better for you!

sounds like a greowth spurt to me. I did wory at times when DS slept longer then usual but if he was going to sleep then so was I. I wasn't going to wake him.

That all sounds normal.  Your DH is right but a mom can't help but worry.  Or I spend 1/2 the afternoon trying to get DS to sleep, then after about an hour, I want to hold him but he's still asleep.
