Relaxed moms make for relaxed babies. Enjoy the sleeping close. That is one of my favorite things. I know one day Gideon will not want to cuddle with me, so I try to get my fill now. I am glad you are finding your groove and enjoying Reed. It is amazing. <>

The day I arrived home from the hospital with Emily...baby #2 (10 years ago!!!)...I had a pile of five days worth of work to catch up on that no one seemed to feel like doing on my behalf. Sounds to me like you're doing an amazing job...and feel all the same things that all new moms feel. I miss chatting with you at work and look forward to meeting Reed in person. Just know you're doing an outstanding job no matter what! Ah…the joys of balancing motherhood and work.

It never has just gone away. They sleep well for a good chunk of time then all of a sudden declare war on the bed. I don't know that right now I can say that it gets easier, though the gas thing should get easier. The rest... the frustration can get better but in the end you're building the foundation for you and Reed for the future. No matter what, he'll know you're human and his humanity will make you cry just as much as his discomfort makes you cry. You will always be his mama. The ease has come and go for me.

I remember those days of sleep deprivation and frustration mixed so completely with joy and pride. As a mother of three breastfed babies, I encourage you to keep at it. There are many more lactation consultants and support available than when I had my first 11 years ago. I was also able to continue with this after returning to work each time. If you ever need a virtual shoulder to cry on or ear to listen, please don't hesitate to contact me. I've enjoyed your Information Wants to Be Free blog for a long time and would love the opportunity to return the favor. Thanks again - and enjoy! Congrats on the new baby!
