A recent vomiting bug in our household has caused me much grief - piles and piles of washing, constant mopping up of sick and number twos and a baby who wants to nurse constantly. Well... during the day that is!
Actually, the advent of this bug has also resulted in some of the best night's sleep I have had in ages. I guess my little one needs the sleep as he is fighting off this bug. Now, don't get me wrong, we are far from 'sleeping through the night' territory but I am being woken up twice per night rather than four to fives times. My baby has slept for four and a half hours in a row! It is like a miracle has happened.
Perhaps it is that I have been ill and less available during the night? Perhaps it is because I have had to stop him nursing too much as he can't handle the quantity and so we the collateral benefit is that I am night weaning him without even realising it?
I am not counting my chickens. I know that as he gets better, there is every chance that he will resume his old habits. But for now, I may live in hope!
