Milk & Sleep

misty  ·  Mon, Dec 14, 2015

Milo slept a lot today, sort of. She started off with a quick 35-min nap this morning, then lots of play time, then another quick 25-minute nap around lunch time while I was out and about. She got really fussed about 90 minutes after she woke up from that nap, so she went down for another nap and this time slept for a little less than 2 hours. After that, she was still fussed, and she took another 35-min nap at around 6pm. Tonight, she didn’t have much trouble getting to sleep at her bedtime. Maybe she’s going through a growth spurt?

Also, I think that my milk supply might be low. I’ve been trying to pump so that we can give Milo a bottle more often, and I’m only getting a few piddly drops out each time. So, I’m going to try to pump after each feed to see if that helps at all. I also may buy a new breast pump; the one we’ve got was free from Kaiser, but it really hurts my nipples.

Other than the naps, Milo and I had a pretty laid-back day. We made a trip to Target, then later a trip to the library and the post office. She loved looking around, as usual, and didn’t seem to mind the cold weather. I also got a lot of good exercise with all of the walks, so bonus!

Notes:

• I’ve been thinking about buying Zutano Cozie Baby Booties for Milo, but haven’t been able to convince myself yet. I’m also toying with the idea of buying more clothes (on Craigslist, probably) to prepare for the coming months; Milo’s wardrobe consists of lots of 6-month clothes, but nothing much bigger than that. And she’s wearing 6-month clothes now, so we’ll need more soon.
