Precious Sleep

katigox · February 2013

Oh my gawd - it's probably just a fluke, but last night, I got five and a half hours of solid sleep! WHOO-HOO!

My DS STTN for exactly two weeks (from eight weeks, to ten weeks), and then for the last two weeks has been up every few hours, building up to waking up every hour and a half to two hours. It was like he was a newborn again (Except he also didn't sleep during the day - on Monday he was up for seven hours straight, completely overtired, and only slept three times, for fifteen minutes, so no deep sleep=exhausted baby)

I think it was a mix of things (teething - dear lordi the drool bubbles all day long - as well as a growth spurt and just getting to aware of his surroundings, and needing more consistent schedule/routine). So the last two days we've been working on him falling asleep outside of my arms (we've tried before, but it didn't really work), and since last night, have used the E.A.S.Y method. And he slept! Woke up to eat an ounce, and went back to sleep for fifty more minutes.

Again, probably a fluke, but I don't even care right now - I actually slept for more than two hours for the first time in two weeks! YESH!
