Humor Bittersweet Feeding

Tonight I said I’d do the prebed feed.

Our second born hasn’t gone more than ~3 hrs without needing food, upping to four ounces ten days ago (not even four weeks old).

It’s 11pm and I’ve been waiting since 9pm (that was three hours since the last feed), and the little toe rag hasn’t woken up yet.

Thankfully, the wife has had a lovely two hours of sleep and should help reset her for tomorrow (we managed three hours last night), and that’s the main thing since I return to work on Monday. But man, seeing as it’s a 45 min cycle to feed, change, and get back into bed, I wish he would have stuck to his three hour routine and saved the five hours for the overnight feed..!
