After hearing all my girlfriends talk about how their newborns- babies basically the same age as E- and how they are sleeping 4+ hours a night, I started questioning what was wrong with my little guy. I know that every baby is different but his sleep was actually starting to get WORSE! We were up every 2-3 hours still and he was over 6 weeks old. Finally I told Chris we needed to put him back in bed with us cause that was when he slept best- when he slept in his little snuggle nest next to me.
Low and behold it worked like a charm! Last night he slept 7 hours straight- after screaming for 3 hours prior but that's another story, and the night before that was almost 6 hours! I know we're gonna pay the price for this when it comes time to move him to his own crib in a few weeks but for now I'll take the risk in exchange of a few extra hours of sleep :P
I became a wife on Aug. 22 2008. A mother on Sept. 4 2009. And now I am struggling with the realities of both and trying to balance my newfound life in WA as a stay-at-home mom (most of the time)and trying not to drive myself crazy missing my friends and family in AZ. Please follow along on our amusing and crazy ride called "Our Life"!
