We bought Small a mattress because I was scared she would leap off our bed.
Last night, her dad put her to bed. It was noiseless. But she woke up w/o me there and cried. He went in to her but "she frowned at (dh's) chest because she wanted to nurse." I went in and nursed her. She fell asleep about a half and hour. Then she woke up, looking for me. She made some noise as if to say "Hey? Momma? Where are you?" I came in and lay down. She sort of played a little on her back, happy I was there, but I was concerned she'd be up for the evening, so I just nursed her and she went to sleep. I went to sleep too. For almost the rest of the night she nursed and nursed and nursed.
I wonder, if she nursed so much to keep me in the bed with her. What do you think about this? She usually does nurse at night, but not as much as it seems she always does when she wakes up and finds me absent. Easiest thing so far has been just to keep her in the big bed, although I am scared she will fall out.
This morning about five I got up and went to the big bed. Her bed is an IKEA mattress and no adult sleeps well on it. I already feel the springs and it's just a few months old. If there is a waranty, do you think I could return it? I got a few hours of sleep until she woke up and dh brought her in to nurse again.
