Twice. We're back to waking up twice at night. Once around 11ish and one again between 3 and 5. We'd just made it almost two full weeks of sleeping straight through when the slop hit the fan again. I mean, shite, we haven't had two wake-ups since he was like 4 months old.
I'm sure it's connected to his current strike. The lil' man has decided he's too big for milk at lunchtime - and that a wee bitty afternoon snack is sufficient. So he's entirely refusing to nurse when I come home over lunch and is only drinking about 2 ounces around 3ish. We're talking a measly 2 ounces between the 7am and 7pm feedings - which just seems ridiculous.
So yeah, pretty convinced that he's compensating for the lack of milk during the daytime by waking mommy up for a little milky goodness at night. Gotta get the calories somewhere and if it's not during the day, then....
Potentially there's some teething nonsense going on, too. He's not fussy - but he is drooling buckets again. Seriously, I'm practically bathing in it. Yum.
Silver lining? I'm taking it fairly relaxed at the moment...I mean, jet lag's gonna screw us entirely in T minus 4 days anyway, eh? Why bother trying to fix it now?
Oh - the teenage years are going to be awesome seeing as he has already started the manipulation!
