[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went to bed at some ludicrous hour like 7pm so all the incremental sleep added up to 8 hours.[/quote] Yes, this. You don’t need the sleep to be contiguous. Also, I know it’s controversial, but we coslept. That way I never needed to fully wake up. Just roll over, nurse, and go back to sleep when baby finishes eating. [/quote] +1,000 I didn’t cosleep with my first but did with my second and third. With my third, I started in the hospital. I’ve never been so well rested in my life. (I’m a light sleeper and don’t move much while I sleep. DH slept in the guest room.) If you aren’t comfortable with cosleeping I would still learn how to nurse while lying on your side as you might find it more restful. It sounds like breastfeeding is important to you. Personally, I would wait at least 4-6 weeks before skipping any of the feeds. [/quote]
