Nurse half woken baby back to sleep, unlatch and then very slowly unstick your skin from theirs and try to slink away without waking them. When they startle- FREEZE. Hold it, feel the burn, hold it until they are peacefully back to sleep. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Coincidentally, EC is also great for the abdominal muscles! When I take my son to poop I hold his legs over my wrists with his back against my torso. To cue the poop I tighten my abs and give a small grunt.
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have put in penning this blog. In fact, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own, personal blog now ;)
