Yes, it’s incredibly adorable. And don’t get me wrong, it’s just as adorable at 3a.m. A couple of nights this week he was wide awake in the wee hours, doing absolutely nothing but eating and… being awake. I finally took the “if you can’t beat em’ join em'” approach and started our day. Frustrated as I was with my lack of sleep and his lack of empathy for my lack of sleep, I knew there had to be an explanation.
A day later at my dr. appointment I got one. He was due for his first growth spurt, demanding a larger milk supply, and all that eating awake time was just what he had to do as a baby to accomplish what I believe should be the fourth task in a newborn’s life- grow. Eat, Sleep, Poop, Grow.
And I know it’s only been three weeks, but I already believe it’s too fast.
