We are in that uncomfortable period where we don't know what Gabriella wants and she isn't all that sure how to get what she wants.
Last night was long and tiring for all three of us. She was more of a snacker in the late evening, and mommy and daddy were determined to get the breastfeeding off on the right foot ... er ... breast.
So, Gabriella tried to tell us she was hungry and wasn't getting enough, but we just didn't understand. She would sleep while being held by either of us but when we would put her in her crib-like structure, she got cross and cried.
Around 1:30, about 45 ml of the supplemental formula did the trick. She went down and didn't peep for four hours.
Glorious, glorious sleep. In fact, what am I blogging? She's off getting some more tests done and probably sleeping (she took 50 ml a little while ago). I should nap.

Haha don't feel bad about the sleeping/crying thing- for the first 2 months of Luke's life he wouldn't sleep anywhere but in our arms... Until I started putting him in the Boppy pillow in his cradle- we are so sneaky, tricked him into thinking someone's arms were still around him!
ReplyDeleteYou will start to understand. Soon you'll both know the difference between the I'm Hungry cry, the I'm Wet cry, the I'm Lonely cry, and the I'm Tired cry. Yes, you will figure it all out. Really. Just don't beat yourself up until you do. :o)
