When my baby first started sleeping through the night, I was still waking from engorgement. If the pain didn't wake me, my soaked everything would. I even had to change the sheets one time it was so bad. As time went by, mother nature stepped in and my milk supply adjusted. I began blissfully sleeping through the night just like my little darling. I even got to put away my breast pump, which I've nicknamed Medela Moo Monster. I sure don't miss that thing sucking the life out of me!
Then came the sleep regression.
We've been lucky so far. Through all the milestones Sydney's been accomplishing, her sleeping habits remained predictable and reliable. This crawling milestone, however, it must be a doozy because she has been waking up in the middle of the night again. She practices trying to crawl and when she get's tired, starts screaming for my boob. Hey, don't you need some water when you're working out? While I really can't complain because at least it's only once during the night, I definitely can complain about the return of my engorgement. The last two nights she didn't request my assistance and there I was again, porn star boobies and a bed full of milk. Sigh. Not looking forward to meeting with Medela Moo Monster before my morning coffee again. Let's hope mother nature steps in, quickly, and helps me out!
