He's Sniffing Me Out
Did you know that a baby can smell his Mama's milk up to 20 feet away? I wonder if they smell other lactating Mommy's or just their own!
This must be why Carter is getting up every 2 hours again in the middle of the night. He smells me and knows where the goods are. Either that or it's a 3 week growth spurt!!

Oh you poor thing! Hopefully it's a quick growth spurt.
I had heard that a baby can smell his mom's breastmilk, but I didn't know it was that far away! That's amazing! And I think I read that he can only smell his own mom...
It's an amazing fact, I've heard that too, and it's soo cool! I'm sorry he's into feeding like he is, yes I'm thinking it's a growth spurt. Hope it ends soon;)
They've got the radar... I still love it, though! Watch out because those growth spurts/teething times needing extra nursing happens when they're around 9-12 months TOO!
Yes, they are crazy with that. We like to check on our son before we go to bed at around 11 or so. When I was nursing (he was about 15 months when he finally slept through the night) I couldn't go in to check on him because he would wake up when I walked into the room. My husband on the other hand could go in and totally reposition him without him opening an eyelid!
It's totally true. Sam ALWAYS wakes up 5 minutes after I've come into the room to go to bed.
