Yes Colin, your mother is giving you important information. Good babies also do not follow the example of this adult and are still up approaching 6:00 AM.
*laugh* You have all my sympathy. Rachel still wakes almost every two hours. It has let me to want to yell, "Go the fuck to sleep!!" which I'm pretty sure isn't good parenting. :)
If I could sleep while she nursed, there's be no problem. I can't. I've tried over and over. Plus, my milk supply is starting to fade, so I think we're about to increase the solid foods and introduce at least a second, if not third, bottle of formula a day. I'm wondering if part of the reason she is waking so often is that she simply isn't getting enough milk when she is nursing.
Colin, listen to your mother. Sleep is a precious gift to be savored, not ignored...
(there is something in the air - Ant woke up at 3:45 and wanted to go downstairs and have breakfast and play with his new clone troopers costume... Argh. At least he did go back to sleep).
My Megan of 1982 would say, "Nope! Uh uh!! Get up, Sleepyhead!! It's a *new day*!! Don't you see the sun... well, it's *about* to rise! C'mon c'mon c'mon!!!!! Sleep is highly overrated!! La lala la laaaaaaaaa! Yay!!! Get up!!"
Now, of course, she's complaining about Jeromy doing almost exactly the same thing. And I chuckle quietly in the corner with all the other grandmothers :):).
