I just wanted to thank all your moms who gave me some advice about Charlotte and her hectic schedule. Even some of the "non" advice helped. She is back to normal now, thankfully. I think it was a combination of several things. I think she was definitely hungry and had hit a growth spurt. I also think my milk wasn't meeting her demand. I had really slacked off on eating right and enough. I think one day I even skipped breakfast and replaced it with four cups of coffee. So, I started eating like crazy, pumping after each feeding and drowning myself in water. It worked. I started flowing like the river Jordan after two days. Charlotte was loving it! It did take her several days after that to settle back into sleeping through the night again. I am glad I didn't have to let her cry it out. I had to do that with Gavin. I remember laying outside his bedroom and crying right along with him. It is so hard for me to eat what I should and as much as I should. I feel like I am eating every spare minute.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. I knew I could count on my bloggy buds to jump in and help me out! My happy, happy girl is back and we are all getting the sleep we need!
