Princess Sip-n-Sleep

Just like a girly-girl, Maya doesn't "eat" she "nibbles". Or rather she "sips" since her diet is only liquid. Matthew was a guzzler; he'd down 6 oz of formula in less than 10 minutes, whereas Maya takes 20 minutes to drink 2 ounces and then falls asleep and refuses to eat any more. Then she's up again in 45 minutes screaming for more food. Then there are those times when she only wants a drink, and wakes me up in the middle of the night to make a full bottle and only takes in half an ounce. Oh I love that!

Last night she was up at 2 am, 5 am, and this morning at 8:30 am and the most she took at each feeding was 3 ounces. Grrrr! Just when she was deciding to sleep for 7 to 10 hours at night she goes and does this! So I thought when she took in 3 ounces by 9:30 this morning that I could check some emails and then take a nap. No sooner did I log off IM she woke up! And only drank 2 ounces. Now she's asleep again and I can't force any more formula into her belly. Aaaarrrrgggghhhhh!!!

I don't care that she's only 6 weeks old; I'm getting even! I'll let her take a nap for now, just long enough for me to workout and take a quick shower and then I'm making sure she's up for the rest of the day. Let's see how she likes it! LOL! If she starts falling asleep I'll change her bum, wipe her face with a cold wipe (she HATES that!), strip her right down to nothing, tickle every single tickle spot she has, or put her on her tummy (which she also hates with a passion); anything to keep her awake. If Mommy can't nap then neither can Maya.

Let the battle begin. ;)
