Some sleep!
From the very first night we had Jordan sleep in his room as the thought of him sharing our bed didn’t seem very appealing. The first two weeks were fine as he was getting up every 2-3 hours to eat: very normal for newborns. Well this past week he had been sleeping for only an hour in between feedings. Add that to an hour of feeding, rocking and putting him down – yup, about 4 hours of sleep for me. I was spent! I would fall asleep in the rocker but since I was up right I would wake up with horrible head and neck aches! I was a mess, very weepy and blue.
I did some research on sleep patterns and read the benefits of co-sleeping. So last night Jordan and I tried it out in the spare room. And guess what!? IT WORKED! He slept 3 hours straight in between feedings! I am a new person this morning!

Naomi always sleeps better when she is next to me, sometimes it gets hard because she moves around a lot now but if I am desperate for sleep I know I can count on her sleeping twice as long then if she sleeps in her crib…Do whatever works best for you!! Glad to hear you got some sleep!
Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.
Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.
Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.
So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
