Since I went full time on this whole daddy thing it’s become more and more important to study, learn and follow a natural rhythm. While Ana was on maternity leave, granted he was younger, but it was easier to just feed and sleep him. I mean that was pretty much all he did.
Now as he’s older and needs more stimulation and entertainment and doesn’t have constant access to boobs and pacifying, it’s more important than ever that I keep track of his sleeping and eating. At the moment he runs a pretty consistent 2 hours awake / 1 hour sleep routine from 7 am to 8 pm. After that, depending on how well and long he slept during the day, he will drop for the night at about 9 pm, waking up once or twice just to feed until he’s up again at 7 am.
Accepting and promoting this natural pattern that he has shown me makes it easier for me to get things done and to keep him away from tears and aggravation both for him and me. While he’s awake I try to do the stuff I need to actively and while he sleeps I catch up on computer work. Anyway, this picture was taken today during his afternoon nap.…
