Peaceful and Fussy

Zealand is a sleepy eater so far. He slows down and often falls asleep at the breast. As his appetite is increasing, this means that he sometimes doesn't get enough during the first round. When we do the pass off to me, this means he becomes either:

Peaceful: floppy heavy head, limp body, sleepy eyes, relaxed temple, and he slumps into my arms and dozes off.

or

Fussy: Thrashing his arms, kicking his legs, trying to crawl all over me while rooting around, working on his voodoo hand motions, flexing his surprisingly strong neck. I hate seeing him in this uncomfortable state, and it would be so easy if I just had a breast to give him.  

Sometimes it's a bit of both, but it usually trends one way or another.
