Last night we had a successful "Dream Feed". I woke up at 3:30am to pump. When I finished, Ethan was fussing a bit. I knew he was starting to wake up so I warmed a bottle and brought it up to his room. I picked him up and nestled him close to me and gently eased his lips. He opened, I fed him, and he was just barely conscious as I fed him. When he was finished, I placed him back in his crib and he slept until 8:45am. I am hoping to accomplish this again tonight.
He was such a happy baby today. He hardly cried unless he needed to be fed. I think his cheeks hurt from smiling s much!!! Lets hope for another blissful day tomorrow!
it's always a good day when they don't cry! congrats on a successful dream feed! I can't seem to keep up production with pumping... its frustrating because my little guy eats so much
