So...night two of letting Caleb sleep on his tummy for a long stretch...night two of me getting even less sleep than before! Sheez. I cannot sleep good cuz I'm all paras. I set my alarm to wake me up every half hour so that I could check on him....and I was up more than that anyways. When came time to feed him, I had to let Dave do it...I was SO tired!!! My mom and I went to Toys R Us today and I picked up one of those swaddle me blanket things...we'll try it cuz I'm too scared to put him on his stomach through the night. Granted, he does sleep good for 4.5 hours, but still...my mom and aunty said they both put all of us on our tummies cuz we sleep better that way, but then I go and look online and all the warnings scare me too much. I know Caleb can lift his head and he moves his head from side to side, even when he's sleeping, but it still scares me. He's only 5 weeks old!!! I always get so freaked out. The sucky part is, though, that on his back, he really doesn't sleep well. Even throughout the day...h has to be hella tired (which means he is hella fussy before this) for him to go down on his back and sleep for any length of time. Mostly he'll fall asleep, we'll put him on his back, and not five minutes later he's fussing and crying again. He just startles himself out of sleep and when he is swaddled with the blanket he gets super pissed off and fights against it to try to get his arms out. Don't know that this swaddle blanket will work but it's worth a try.
