The Midnight Snacker - OR - My Breastfeeding Monster

We co-sleep in our family.  All 7 of us...Mama, Dad, Baby, Big Dog, Little Dog, Furry Cat, Naughty Cat.  For the most part, it's good.  However, I think I might have created a breastfeeding monster.  My son wants to snack ALL. NIGHT. LONG.  I will get into more details of the breastfeeding acrobatics in another post.

Usually, the baby nurses, eventually falls asleep, and comes free of the boob.  We then sleep side by side, but not connected.  But, on this particular night, I awoke on my back to find my baby on all fours, ATTACHED to the boob, sound asleep!  Haha!  It looked like he was mid-crawl, fell onto the nipple, and zonked out!


So, there it is.  Our family bedroom on that fateful evening of the Midnight Snacker!

Please note the toys on the floor (this is the case for every room in my house, including the bathroom and kitchen). And also notice my husbands dirty boxers and socks that are always. on. the. floor.
