Shhhh Baby's Sleeping

Avery's alternative sleep spot when necessary. I have been working hard to keep up the milk supply. The biggest obstacle in pumping enough is remembering to do it amongst the 1000 other things I should be doing and the 2nd thing is actually taking the time to do it. I always make sure I have the phone next to me so that doesn't interrupt, the TV remote handy but Avery is also very interrupting in this process. I'd lay her down for a nap and then do a few things that I need to do while she was asleep, then I'd begin pumping only to be interrupted by baby awaking from a nap. When Avery wakes up and is hungry.. she is a bear ready to eat. So now I usually pump with her near me and when she is sleepy, she just goes to sleep on her boppy. She'd probably only do this for mommy though. She smiles at me over and over as she drifts off. Here she is in the family room fast asleep. Kids can run around her, the TV can be on and away she sleeps. Not the best sleep habits for a baby, but summer is approaching and we'll be busy so this will be good practice for Avery!!!
