It seems that this little guy can't find his fingers like his older sister did (even though he sucked them all the time before being born...), so I broke down last night and bought a binky. I am so glad I did! I got 4 straight hours of sleep! So much better than the one hour increments I have been getting. Of course this means that I am going to have to break him of the binky some time down the road, but I can do that.
My grandson used one, Dr's orders because he was a preemie (3lbs) and needed to practice the sucking and swallowing, but it wasn't hard to break him, just one day it "got lost" and that was that.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got some sleep.
I think the binkie breaking is easier than the finger breaking, so good luck! sleep, ahhhh!
