Newborns

I forget that newborns really don't do much. They pretty much just sit thre don't they? Sometimes I feel pretty bad because all he does is lay in his bouncer or swing most of the day asleep or he is just hanging out not doing much but staring out into the distance. I know there really isn't much to do with him anyways but hold him and cuddle with him, but I always feel I should be doing something with him...like he will notice and hate me because he thinks I don't want him haha. Silly thought I know.

I have started to enter into "no sleep" with a new baby. Up until now I haven't really noticed it, but it really got to me last night. He has been waking up every two hours to eat during the night.....waking up at four thirty and staying awake for at least an hour after he eats! Sheesh....any suggestions on how you train your newborns to sleep?? I think his schedule is way off. He sleeps like an angel during the day. He will sleep through anything and wake up for no one. So any advice would be nice!!

By the way have I told you how much I love my boppy pillow?!? They are great for baby and mommy! I never had one with Adalie, but I use it all the time with Cason. It makes breastfeeding a lazy breeze!! And he loves to sit in the middle of it and have the soft pillow all around his little body. I would recommend them to anyone!!

As far as baby sleep training I've heard the book "On Becoming Babywise" is amazing. I never read the whole thing but from what I've heard it's awesome. Good luck
