Thanks for sharing, Jaime! I found it fascinating. It brought back my memories of breastfeeding. I never made it to the stage of him teething, thankfully. I struggled with the whole bf process for several months and finally went with formula.

Waking up at the drop of a pin became my regular pattern for quite a few years. It is not so intense now, 9 years later, but neither is it anywhere near my pre-baby days when I once slept through a car crashing into the decades old trees in my front yard taking all of them out (I noticed the next morning).

For me, being pregnant was utterly joyous, but giving birth and the afterwards were very traumatic. I'm still recovering. That's probably why I am extra impressed with Tsuki's tenacity and efficiency. And she had 4!!
