Nic: Easy baby

Nic is an easy baby! He sleeps a lot, nurses a lot and poops and pees a lot. Hs is very sweet when he is awake. He likes to be swaddled and we keep him that way most of the time. I have found that he nurses well during the day swaddled but at night I have to unwrap him a bit to get him to wake up enough to eat well.

I have also taken to try to keep him up for several hours before we go to bed so he eats a lot and is tired out a bit so he will sleep longer. It worked last night - I got to sleep for one 2 hour period and one 3 hour period.

The funny thing is that he sleeps through anything! during the day. We took the boys and Grandma Toni out to breaskfast this morning and to Sam's Club and after nursing he slept all the way through Sam's Club in his car seat in a shopping cart! I am not used to this newborn sleep through anything stage as Jac was in the hospital during this early part of his life and when he came home he did not really ever sleep well in teh car seat or out in public! I have to say it is pretty cool!

As I mentioned in a previous post Nic has been nursing well and regained his birth weight in 9 days! It is a real joy to be able to nurse Nic but it has brought back some feelings of grief over not having a breastfeeding relationship with Jac.
