After some Google research, I've discovered that most post-op infants revert back to newborn behaviours. That explains my very needy little man. I remember being awake with him a lot as a newborn... he grew out of that eventually and developed his own little routine. Now that his little world's been rocked, he's up a lot at night and feeding on demand. I feel a bit better knowing that.
Simon and I have started "assisted naps". I let him nap on his own until he wakes up 1/2 hr later and then I cuddle and nurse him back to another 1 hour and 1/2 of dreamland.
Undaunted by the casts, Simon is still quite determined to roll.
