Night 2 of bedtime success!

LauraOTR

L had been a terror at bedtime for a week. He would fight it and act like a maniac, with crazy wide eyes, fussing constantly, eating constantly, fast breathing, fast paci sucking, all hyper. It took 5-6 tries to get him down for good (used the 5 S's to get him down, but he woke up wide awake as soon as he hit the RNP).

Last night, he went to bed on the first try, and slept 4.5 hours for his first stretch, then 3 hours for his 2nd stretch..then we slept another 2.5 hours in the morning after DH left for work. Tonight, he went to bed on the first try also, and is fast asleep. I guess I should knock on wood...I'm hoping last week was just a 6-week growth spurt thing, and this will be our new normal.

Now, why am I not sleeping? I guess I needed some bump time!

Yay. LO was the same way for about three days when the week before he was sleeping through the night. Now the past three days hes sleeping through the night again. Hes up now for his last feeding then off to bed. Isnt it great getting some good sleep for once?
