\nDecided yesterday that there will be no more long naps for me together with Adrian, since I came to realize that those naps probably contribute to the bad night sleep. We probably had a vicious circle here: he sleeps badly at night -> both of us tired in the morning -> we take a long nap together -> he gets too much sleep during the day -> he sleeps badly at night. Bye-bye naps. I will probably get less sleep in total but hopefully of a higher quality.\n<\/p>\n
\nI am also trying to improve the quality of my sleep by not using the computer after 10pm. As you see it is not going very well yet (it is 22:15 already) but I promise I will turn it off after this post.\n<\/p>\n
\nInstead of napping with him, I managed to get Adrian to sleep in a back carry in a sling – twice! The first time I couldn’t contort myself enough to get a dummy into his mouth so he slept restlessly and woke a bit too early. The second time went better. My previous attempts have failed but this time I tried a different type of back carry (the rucksack carry instead of the wrap cross carry, for the sling geeks among you) and it seemed to work better.\n<\/p>\n
\nBought new spring shoes for myself (delightfully comfy Hush Puppies) – the previous pair had a worn-out piece of lining that was giving me blisters.\n<\/p>\n
\nDecided that I will start taking Omega-3 supplements, and bought some, since there seems to be a consensus among scientists about their usefulness. (I also plan to take vitamin D during the winter months, but have decided to skip it for now.) I still don’t believe in routine consumption of multivitamins since I believe my diet is sufficiently varied already. I’m also already taking calcium while I’m living dairy-free because of Adrian’s allergy, and glucosamine, which in my experience helps me avoid “clicking” joints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
