"Never wake a sleeping baby"

Do you know this old adage?  Well, every night I would look at Kai and think about this saying as I tried to wake up our soundly sleeping baby.  I continued to wake him because during our first Pediatrician visit our baby Dr. wanted Kai to get back to his birth weight before we let him sleep longer than 4 hours without a feeding.  Of course, those who know me, know that my next step would be to put the little man on a training program to ensure he gained the necessary weight (6oz in 3days) by the time we went in for our second Pediatrician visit.  (spoiler: He accomplished the necessary weight gain and we are now letting him wake us up at night when he wants to eat).

For those of you worried Kai would not be exposed to the art of sleeping thru the night, no fears... Anyone who knows Ahmad (or has driven with or had Ahmad as a passager in their car) knows he is the best sleep teacher ... and he has been teaching well.
