i love love love nursing naps :)

and esp right now b/c my LOs have been having some serious trouble with daytime sleep (in relation to a growth spurt for the most part i think.)  so it makes me so happy to see them comfortably sleeping :)

when they were newborns they would take nursing naps a lot, esp in the evenings.  they would stay latched on and nurse throughout a long nap, sometimes unlatching after an hour or more.  anyway, today they have taken TWO nursing naps :)  it's been a while since they've both wanted to do that, and when i'm home by myself with them i have to balance their needs.  usually the little man would love to nurse to sleep for naps but my lady is most often re-energized by nursing and wants to talk (loudly) when she's done ;)

anyway, it's the best :)  just wanted to share!

    I agree! Last night (so not a nap, but nursing sleep) it was storming real bad. Lots of lightning and thunder and hard rain. DS woke up and wanted to nurse and fell back asleep nursing. I got to snuggle him and watch him nurse everytime the lightning lit up the room until I fell back asleep too. It is the best!

    Cal & I have taken to sleeping together after nursing in the morning.  Side-lying nursing didn't work for us in the beginning, when he had latch issues and my boob was so big compared to his little head, but recently I had the stomach flu and had no choice BUT to nurse him lying down.  We've been doing it ever since (in the night/early AM hours) and we always fall back to sleep together.  It's a nice feeling.  :)

    Life is beautiful!

    Side-lying is my absolute favorite way to nurse Gabriel.  I love the way he nestles into my body, and just fits so perfectly.  I feel like he gulps less that way, too... and thus gets less air, and doesn't spit up as much.
