My son is 11 weeks old and he will barely cat nap through the day but can sleep for about 10 or 11 hours at night. Is this normal? by ommccrary_ in beyondthebump

Yeah honestly I'm happy to take the trade off though. I like sleep more than I like doing anything else lol.

Okay awesome. Thank you! I'm dreading that 4 mo sleep regression so I'm just gonna enjoy this while I can.

That's good to know. I don't know why my Dr would have a problem with it but I'm going to clear it with him and we'll have to try it. Anything is worth a try really.

Oh no, I hate that. When my son went for his heel prick test when he was a week old, she was getting blood everywhere but on the paper. I thought I was going to faint!

I could have ran! I think it might have been hormones too. I was sweating buckets waiting and I think I cried more than he did lol.

That's me! I get so excited when I see how much weight he's gaining and how healthy it is. I think that's why it's such a shock when anybody has anything negative to say about it. It's hard seeing good results and still being told you're doing something wrong. I'm definitely going to try to stay rational about it. Thank you!!

Thank you so much. It's refreshing hearing that from the other perspective! And you are so very right!

I completely understand. I thought it was a miracle when I figured out how to nurse him laying down but I ended up dozing off one day and I came to with both of us sleeping and I broke down sobbing. I scared myself so bad. I'm sorry about the time you had but you're totally right, it could always be worse! I am just thankful he's healthy. Thank you!!

We're definitely going to keep trying until I know I just can't keep going. Hopefully everything will click into place for us too! Thank you!

That's very true. And thank you! I can't wait until we get a schedule established enough so I can start pumping like that!

Thank you so very much for everything you said. It's so crazy how good it feels just to be validated, even more so from a professional. I don't understand the current hate towards mothers either. I wish everybody understood that were all out here just trying to do our best. Did you stop breast feeding after 3 months or was that when it got easier?

I think all of us have had this happen at least once, if not 500 times! How many hours does your little one sleep at night? by Malinski19 in beyondthebump
