Sleepless night

The title pretty much describes the night I had last night. It was the worst night we have had since her first week at home. Charlotte was more interested in eating than sleeping last night. That made for a sleepless night for both baby and mommy. Here are all the times she ate last night:

9:30
12:15
- tried to wake up at 2:30 but luckily went back to sleep
4:00
5:30 (Mark tried to give her a paci and rock her back to sleep but she was having none of it. She wanted to eat.)
8:00

So, between 9:30 last night and 9:30 this morning I only got about 3-4 hours of sleep. And, her eyes just opened so I better go feed her again. Please, please pray for a MUCH better night tonight.

Oh, sweet momma! Cy hit a growth spurt at 3 weeks and ate pretty much every 2 hours during the day and every 2.5-3 hours at night for several weeks. Hang in there...your milk production should increase to better meet her growing appetite soon. We'll be praying for you!

You don't know me, but we have a mutual friend, Jill Newberry.
I went thru this with my first baby 6 years ago! Didn't know what to do...but hang in there. Growth spurts hit about every 6 weeks til 3 mos. Then every 3 mos until a year. It won't last forever, I promise!!!

Oh Hattie! I so remember going through that exactly. I will say a prayer for a better night and hope this is a VERY short growth spurt!
