Michael Jude is 10 weeks now and still co-sleeping with us. I nurse him to
sleep each night as it seems to be the olnly way to get him to drift off into
never-never land. I'll deal with getting him to sleep on his own later on I
suppose but for now this has worked as a brilliant quick fix for a very
sleep-deprived, overwhelmed new mom.

Question: Last night DS spit up considerably twice. I'm not sure if it's
because I don't burp him at night when he drifts off to sleep OR if he's
overfed b/c he stays at the breast for so long. Even if he's merely sucking
for comfort doesn't milk still come out? Do babies know when they are full
even in their sleep ?

Thanks,
Lisa

I've noticed that when I lie down and nurse DS he spits up more than
when I hold him more upright. Even if I get him up and burp him, he
still spits up if he's been nursing lying down. Can you try sitting
up in bed to nurse and then lay him down after he's finished to see if
that helps? I know it's not as comfortable, but it might help
identify the problem.
