I am slowly trying to adjust to lack of sleep and the routine of a newborn baby. It is taking a toll on me, but I wouldn't trade it. I love having Paxten in our home, he is such a sweet and mellow baby. (Thank goodness) he is very calm and doesn't cry a lot and I am loving that. On the other hand I have decided that there are pros and cons to breastfeeding.
The Pros:
1. It is FREE!! Who doesn't love free!
2. It is always with you wherever you go, no packing bottles and formula
3. It is always the right temperature
4. I have a special bond with the little man
5. He wants me!! I have something he wants, that only I can satisfy!
6. It has so many health benefits!
7. Breast milk doesn't produce diaper stains!
The Cons:
1. I am getting no Sleep at night!
2. He only wants me...no one else can feed him.
3. I feel like a human pacifier!
4. My other kids keep telling me he wants "mommy milk," who else are they going to share this information with?
I guess the pros are greater than the cons! I will just have to keep dealing with it and hope he develops more of a routine in the next little bit! Either way I still love having a newborn, someone that wants to snuggle with me!
