Update on the milk factory and sleep fighter


So far, so good! Will is generally taking about an ounce less of formula, so that means he's getting more from me! I'm still in the early stages of the herbs, so things might increase even more. Fingers are crossed.
Yesterday we had the WORST day ever with Will...he wouldn't sleep all day. He wasn't gassy, diaper was clean, he was fed, he just wouldn't sleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. It was soooooo hard. Luckily, Nana came to pick up Addison for the day, so she was gone for a good portion of the chaos. Will finally went to sleep around 9:00 pm. He just wouldn't let his little body settle down! He was fighting sleep so bad. I have a friend who is a NICU nurse, and she said this is common around 6-7 weeks old. Whew! He ended up sleeping until 4:00 am! He must have been making up for his lost sleep during the day. Today he was back to normal, napping for a long stretch in the morning, and another long nap in the afternoon. Enough of the crazy sleep stuff, Will! Mommy needs a little more predictability out of you! ;)
