He's a light eater. Doesn't eat much during the day. Doesn't nurse much during the day. Nurses every 2-3 hours all night long.
Honestly, this doesn't bother me that much. He needs to eat. We have a rhythm. I sleep pretty well with him. We wake up, roll over, latch and I'm back out.
Lately, he's been having a harder time going to sleep. If he naps after 10:30 in the morning, it takes him over an hour to get to sleep. In that time, he nurses and thrashes. He isn't fussy, but it isn't exactly fun.
Today's nap was at 11:30. When he finished nursing and started to roll around on my lap tonight, I decided to try a different tactic. I put him down in his crib. He stood up and talked to me. He bounced. He fell over (which elicited his only tears of the evening). Eventually he settled down, laid down and fell asleep. I did some singing as he settled, but that was all he needed.
We will see how it progresses. I don't know what I expect. I don't know what I anticipate. It's interesting, though.
