A day with Abel

Abel was an angel when he was born, sleeping most of the time aside from the day and night reversal. However, there are periods of times he just want to latch on to Mommy all the time and this is really tiring. Now at 5 weeks old, he naps less but still wakes up at least once for a night feed at 2-3am and another at 6 am before rising at 8ish am despite the fact that he sleeps late. He's like his father, a night owl and refuses to retire till 11-12pm. Before that, he would be cluster feeding but Mommy really wonders if it's more of a comfort suckle as he falls asleep very quickly and seems to be just nibbling. Otherwise, he's snacking. Day naps have been short 30min for today but on some good days, it's 2hours. Not sure if that's cause Mommy is trying to get Abel to adjust to some routine based on "The Contented Little Baby Book" by Gina Ford. Mommy literally "forced" Abel to be up by 7 am. By 6pm, Abel was definitely tired from his yawn but he simply just couldn't nap properly earlier. Mommy wondered too if he was colic as he kept jerking his legs up while feedin.
