remember that crazy new mom a couple weeks ago?

The one who's newborn only napped during the day and didnt sleep a wink at night? Im not so crazy anymore Chat Icon Just an update and a HUGE thank you for all of your suggestions and help!
After much deliberation, I have decided to go with formula at night, and can I just tell you the difference! She sleeps!!! Its been a solid week and a half or so of roughly 4 hour stretches of uninterrupted sleep at night. Its like a different child. Maybe my boobie milk wasent cutting it for her at night, and turns out all those screams were because she was hungry Chat Icon Now during the day I pump and give her 1/2 breast and 1/2 formula, and it seems to be working out fantastically.
I was almost at my witts end and all of you helped me out so much. Much thanks ladies!Chat Icon

yay! yep, that's what Eryk needed too.... it's something about formula taking longer to digest... they feel full longer what a blessing......

Awww- yay! I was thinking of you a few days ago and wondering how it's been.

Now, could your 6 week old please call MY 6 week old and tell her that it's OK to go more than 2.5 hours between feedings at night?Chat Icon

Can your 6 week old also put a call into my 6 week old, he also doesn't go more than 2-2.5 hours between feedings at night too!!!
I can't wait til I'm in your shoes, that's so great you are getting more sleep.
