At barely 24 hours old, Elijah beat me for the first time (of many I'm sure). We were going to try not to give him a pacifier. Well, last night after about three and a half hours of pretty much constant nursing, I had to give in. All he wanted to do was suck and I became Mommy the Human Pacifier. About 1:30am, I threw up the white flag and asked the nurse for a pacifier. Eli was as happy as could be after that and he has been loving life. Apparently he has a great sucking reflex and, since we're having no issues feeding, the pacifier shouldn't be a bad thing. Better that he use his reflex on a pacifier than me!
Happy Eli, Tired Mommy.
Awwww, beautiful! Long live the pacifier! Anything that gives Mom a little rest. Don't forget the Lansinoh -- for human binkies it's a lifesaver.
ReplyDeleteHa, yeah we tried that, too and Noah beat us also!
ReplyDeleteDitto to the lansinoh comment!!
