Abigail is awake more than she was the first couple of weeks. I developed some habits during her sleepy two weeks than I am having trouble breaking now. For example, I fed her every time she was awake or cried because we were trying to put weight on her and she didn't cry except when hungry. Now, I am realizing that she may cry for other reasons, but I can't stop the easy fix of feeding her to calm her down. I read somewhere that you can't over nurse a newborn baby so I hope that is true. Consequently, her feedings have become more snacky and frequent (almost every hour except for yesterday afternoon when I got some scrapbooking done). I just don't know how to break that because I don't know that she isn't hungry when she cries. My plan is to try to spend more time getting to know her cues so I have a better idea what she needs rather than always assuming it it food.
