Cletus was always a good sleeper. At just over a week old, he would go four, five or sometimes up to six hours at a stretch. At just over six weeks old, he was “sleeping through”, going down somewhere between 8:30 and 10 pm, and waking up somewhere between 5:30 am (on a bad night) all the way up to 7 on a rare lucky morning.
Wow! I praised my lucky stars. I believed I might have stumbled on some kind of slacker method of baby control.
Of course, on the downside, Cletus was a skinny little fellow and a slow gainer.
Well, lately he seems to be chubbing up and growing and now he’s waking every two hours through the night – ravenous. I’m tired.
