sleep update

things seem to be getting better. Last night she slept for 8 hours straight for the first time so I'm pumped. Speaking of, I had to get up and pump at 4:30 because she slept through 2 feedings and I got 6.25oz, the most ever. after her 8 hours I brought her into bed with me and we slept/nursed for another 3 hours. I feel pretty good. 

The big change was putting her down in our bed instead of the pnp and then moving her when we went to bed. It was actually my dad's idea because he said lowering her into the pnp hurt his back so I told him to just put her on the bed.

Hope it keeps working!

Re: sleep update

  • That's great! Hope she keeps it up. The one thing I have learned since becoming a mom is staying flexible and if what i'm doing isn't working try something different!

  • I have been doing the same thing ... well nursing C to sleep in our bed and then once he is really asleep, i will move him into his bassinet. It makes getting him to sleep much easier and he seems to be able to get himself back to sleep more easily that way too.

    Hope it helps! I am longing for the night of 6+ hours of sleep in a row! Except I swear I wake up every 30 minutes and check on him.

  • yeah, I woke up probably 4 times during her long stretch last night :)
