Grayson may be going through a growth spurt and also may be ready for solids (cereal, fruits and veggies). I would continue to breastfeed and respond to Grayson's needs. Re: co-sleeping, that is perfectly fine if you want to continue to co-sleep. When you are breastfeeding, it is okay to fall asleep with Grayson, don't try to stay awake - it is counter productive to what your hormones are dictating. Breastfeeding is calming and will cause you to doze off - also, try to sleep when Grayson sleeps if that is possible. If you have questions re: introduction to solids - please feel free to call me.
