Ahem.

So if I have talked to you at all recently, I have mentioned - nay, COMPLAINED - about how my daughter is not sleeping anymore. She's up twice a night, on average, and wants to snuggle and nurse in bed with me. I may have mentioned how I was being PLAYED by this baby, who was clearly fine and just wanted to be held in the middle of the night. I may have even eluded to the fact that it was time to just let her cry already, so that we could finally get a good night's sleep. Truth be told, I never have the stomach for letting them cry, not really, but I know it would work, if I would just suck it up and do it.

If I've talked to you recently, we've had this conversation.

Then today, a full two weeks after Emmy stopped sleeping, it dawned on me - I've been forgetting to feed my baby.

She hasn't had lunch in two weeks.

We dropped a nursing session, but I FORGOT to replace it with baby food. She just ... hasn't been eating from 9ish until 1:30ish every afternoon. And it turns out that if you drop a baby's feeding, they will start waking up in the middle of the night to eat again.

Because they are HUNGRY.
