(Or, put it in writing -- even worse!!)
DS2 has slept until 5am 3 nights this week.. PAHLEASE let this stay!
Of course, in order to get him to do this we've been giving him an extra bottle around 9:30pm.. which, puts him over the typical recommendation of 32oz/day of formula max (he's about 36oz/day now).. but, he's sleeping better.. and his belly isn't growling.. !
Prior to this.. his sleep has been so erratic.. one night he'd wake at 1, 3 and 5.. and be up for the day at 7, some nights first waking was 3, prior to doing this we had 2 rarities where he'd wake at 5, but then not go back to sleep.. or, the 3am wakings that would then take over 2 hours to get him back to sleep were fun, too..
I am SO hopeful that we're turning a corner here!!
Oh, did I mention he rarely ever naps, too? He's so different than DS1, who was/is a great sleeper!! This little boy things sleep is optional, and he's clearly been trying to opt out!!
