Double Shift with 2 Kids
Attachment Parenting, Peaceful Motherhood, Siblings, Sleep, Tandem Nursing Add commentsI haven’t been posting much because I’ve been falling asleep a lot while nursing both kids to sleep. They both latch on and nurse till they sleep. Kitten usually unlatches first and rolls over to her crib and then Wolf rolls over to his side and sleeps too.
But when the nightwaking party begins, all bets are off. Sometimes one wakes and calls for me, waking the other if I don’t hear the escalating calls, and I’m back to tandem nursing them both back to bed. Maybe that is more efficient, because often after nursing one back to bed, the other wakes.
Still, I am grateful I have my iPhone and usually play some inane game or read some news offline to pass the time. I could look lovingly at them as I nurse them to sleep but it is too dark. Sometimes I do shine a bit of light on their sweet sleeping faces and think aww…

You know, I think there’s a reason why kids look extra adorable when they are asleep – to remind us that all the work is worth it especially when we’re exhausted beyond belief.

Yes it is an important evolutionary trait. Why else? Why else?
