Jess, birthday parties wear me out! I put a lot into planning Jackson's first and was so preoccupied with him, nothing else got done. I went through all this effort to make goodie bags for the kids and completely forgot to hand them out!! They'll be used for his 2nd birthday LoL!!
Suz, there's a lot of support on here for tandem feeding. I think after a few days of cluster feeding he'll be fine. Maybe a growth spurt? Jackson just had one...I swear he shot up over night!! All of a sudden he couldn't fit underneath tables without ducking and his clothes fit a little better (he's in 18 months and some 24 months clothes).
Jackson had another crappy night last night waking up a couple of times. It's so odd because (don't read this Lou) he slept through fine before usually around 11 hours. Do you think it's teething? I thought maybe because we had to have the heat on that maybe his throat is getting dry and he doesn't like it. I thought of maybe giving him a sippy of water to go to bed with. He wakes up fussing...not crying, just whining until I come to him. He will whine until I come. If I come and pat his back for 2 seconds, he'll go right back to sleep (I'm not exaggerating). Or I'll pick him up for all of 5 seconds and put him back down and he goes back to sleep. Is this like a wonder week thing maybe? He is definitely more attached to me now than he has ever been.
